Seven Pillars of Wisdom A Triumph

Seven Pillars of Wisdom A Triumph is the autobiographical account of British Army Colonel T. E. Lawrence (also known as “Lawrence of Arabia”). During the Arab Revolt (1916–1918) against the Ottoman Empire, Lawrence served as a military advisor to Bedouin forces. Based in Wadi Rum, Jordan, he orchestrated attacks from Aqaba to Damascus.

The title comes from the Book of Proverbs: “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars” (Proverbs 9:1, King James Version).
