Hollywood needed a cast of thousands, David Lean, and won seven Oscars. Eamonn Gearon had a camel called Osama. This Oxford-trained historian spent decades in the Middle East – living with Bedu, risking his neck and uncovering secrets Britain buried with Lawrence. History and comedy collide; a sharper image emerges. Neither villain nor hero, but something more interesting. What was promised? What was broken? What would Lawrence make of Peter O’Toole’s performance? With the wit of a raconteur and authority of a scholar, Gearon, 'a masterful storyteller' (TheGreatCourses.com) reveals man, myth, movie... plus camels.
