Rare Books

"The basic theme is a comparison of the strategies of two recognized masters of the art of guerrilla warfare. Using as principal sources the writings of Mao Tse-tung and T.E. Lawrence, a study is conducted of the similarities of their strategies. It is noted that within similar time frames of age and experience and dissimilar parameters of environment, resources and personal ambitions, closely identical strategies for the achievement of separate goals were produced."--Author's abstract.

Sheik's War and People's War : different playing field, same rule book

Rare Books

"T.E. Lawrence and Mao Tse Tung are two of the masters of modern guerrilla warfare. The writings of each man and descriptions of their campaigns were studied to derive the principles upon which they based their strategic decisions. Comparison of these principles revealed many similarities and only one major difference: Lawrence taught that pitched battles should be avoided while Mao preached the need to encircle and annihilate enemy forces completely. Offensive battles and defensive battles fought using each man's doctrine are outlined and compared."--Author's abstract.

Rare Books

The first Westerner to meet Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communist leaders in 1936, Edgar Snow came away with an authorized account of Mao's life, as well as a history of the famous Long March and the men and women who were responsible for the Chinese revolution.

Lawrence of Arabia

Rare Books

An inordinately complex man who has been labeled everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist, Thomas Edward Lawrence blazed his way to glory in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under an assumed name. The story opens with the death of Lawrence in a motorcycle accident in London at the age of 47, then flashbacks to recount his adventures: as a young intelligence officer in Cairo in 1916, he is given leave to investigate the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks in World War I. In the desert, he organizes a guerrilla army and--for two years--leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. Eventually, he leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire.
