In November-December 1914 Lawrence compiled a book of route-guides covering northern Sinai. This was the area the Turkish army would have to cross to attack the Suez Canal - and also the area the British Army would have to cross to advance into Palestine.

The guidebook - nearly 200 pages long - has never been reprinted: 1914 route reports are hardly relevant today. However, a small printing is now to be issued as part of the ongong scholarly edition of Lawrence’s works and correspondence published by Castle Hill Press.

Until the end of July 2008 you can order copies at a substantial discount.
