i've somehow managed to use learning history to procrastinate
I just want to say it was an absolute pleasure working with you guys. Thank you for inviting me to be in one of your videos and I'm so happy to see that your community are just passionate about history as mine are. You have built something very special with your channel and I also wish to do the same with mine :)
"was beaten ..thrown in prison, where a Dr. helped him escape"...isn't that the origin story of Ironman?
A side note about T.E. Lawrence. Lawrence died 6 days after crashing on his 8th af final Brough Superior motorcycle (All of which were named George) as a result of getting his head quite torn up by the crash. One of the doctors attending him was the neurosurgoen Hugh Cairns, who began a long study on the deaths of motorcycle riders as a result of head injuries. These studies lead to the creation of the crash helmet which have saved thousands of lives of motorcycle riders all around the world. So in my humble opinion, the best thing Lawrence ever did was die, since his death have saved so many lives.
He died in a motorcycle accident when he hit a tree after swerving to miss pedestrians... How anti-climactic.
SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM LIGHTS THE FLAME
Lawrence of arabia pretty much single handedly defeated one of the world's most long standing evil empires. That's a win in my book.
So your saying the mess we are in now in the middle east was the British and French fault?
I wish teachers in school would teach using videos like this instead of reading from a text book to prepare for a standardized test
"we don't want a powerful and united Arabian kingdom". seems policy on the matter hasn't changed one bit since then.
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did.
"Nothing is written."
AS THE DARKNESS FALLS
"The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is useful as a handbook for training and advising guerrilla forces and is still obligatory reading in many special forces units around the world.
Saw a reprint of the 70mm film "Lawrence of Arabia" it was visually possibly one of the most visually stunning movies I have ever seen. Amazing.
I love that this channel sponsors other historical channels. This channel is the reason I started watching History Buffs and Extra History
"Lawrence of Arabia's War," by Neil Faulkner and "Lawrence in Arabia," by Scott Anderson, are two great books, very detailed, regarding not only Lawrence, but other personalities and specific battles. These books get rid of misconceptions, rumors, etc. about how the middle east campaign was waged.
5:08
The video repeats unfounded and unsupported criticisms of Lawrence’s account in the pillars... ignoring that General Allenby attested that the book was accurate.
Such an interesting guy, the whole Arab uprising is so interesting to me. Doesn't hurt that Lawrence of Arabia is such a great movie
