T. E. Lawrence
The Mint
London: Jonathan Cape, 1955
First printing
Lawrence lived a life at odds with the social class and expectations of his time.
Despite becoming an international hero for his part in the Arab wars, he struggled his whole life to fit in at home.
This brilliant account of his barrack-room experiences, on trying to join the RAF, between the wars, is full of his characteristic brilliance and pig-headed defiance.
Hardcover, with a previous owner dedication to first end board.
