Missing Book

Following a news item about an exhibit concerning Lawrence of Arabia, I followed a link to see if a book I possess is listed. It wasn't.

The book, "The Murder of Lawrence of Arabia", is a work of fiction and claims that the Irgun (!), of all persons and/or organizations, was interested in his death to prevent him from reorganizing the Arabs against the Zionist project in Mandate Palestine.

Since Lawrence was killed in a traffic accident involving perhaps reckless motorcycling and two boys on bikes, one of which he clipped, and that it happened in 1935, all I can say is that it's a good tale, but still, fiction nevertheless.
