Maddox examines Lawrence's perplexing life through an examination of his marriage to Baroness Frieda von Richthofen Weekley. Without overlooking his misogyny, anti-Semitism, flirtation with fascism, and other defects, as well as new revelations about his tuberculosis, his many friendships, and his complicated sexual life, Maddox presents a portrait of a vulnerable, likeable Lawrence: a hilarious mimic, a lover of nature, an inspired teacher, a brilliant journalist, and, above all--as he saw himself--a married man.
