The book contains the order of battle and the campaign maps for the Near Eastern front of which Lawrence's Arab campaign was a part. Two pieces of the text were written by Lawrence, though unsigned: 'Sherifian Co-operation in September' and 'Story of the Arab Movement'. They appear to have been extracted from official reports. Together with the reports in the Arab Bulletin and The Times, they are his first published accounts of the Arab Campaign.
First edition. 4to, [vi], 113 pp., 56 coloured lithographed maps each with explanatory text for next plate to verso, original stiff buff printed wrappers with red cloth spine, early ownership inscription, light wear, a very good copy.
