"This book contains the order of battle and the campaign maps for the Near Eastern front of which Lawrence's Arab campaign was a part. There are two pieces of the text written by Lawrence. This book is not always recognised as containing Lawrence's work, as the pieces are unsigned. The two pieces in question appear to have been extracted from official reports. These, along with the reports in the Arab Bulletin and in The Times, are his first published accounts of the Arab campaign." (O'Brien p. 18) Lawrence's contributions appear on the versos of plates 48-49: "Sherifian Co-operation in September," and the versos of plates 50-52: "Story of the Arab Movement.". O'Brien A012
