Scott Anderson on Lawrence in Arabia

Gary Giddins, Executive Director of the Leon Levy Center for Biography, interviews Scott Anderson, author of the much-discussed bestseller Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East, a magisterial new biography that sets the life of T.E. Lawrence amid a vivid history of British colonial conflict. Anderson is a veteran war-correspondent and author of the novel Triage, the nonfiction book The Man Who Tried to Save the World: The Life and Mysterious Disappearance of Fred Cuny, and War Zones, written with his brother Jon Lee Anderson.
