lawrence of Arabia and the arab revolt
Dr Neil Faulkner suggested information that you can use to see how archaeological evidence has provided new insights into the Arab Revolt of 1916-1918. This was a people's war, fought using guerrilla tactics, that helped create the modern Middle East. Neil's publications include Lawrence of Arabia's War. Another book, written by his colleague, Nicholas J. Saunders, Desert Insurgency, may also be of interest. More details of the Great Arab Revolt Project are available here.
