497 - The Real Lawrence of Arabia

** NOTE! THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE THE RECENT ATTACKS ON IRAN. (That's why I don't mention it) ** World War I turned allies into enemies and enemies into unlikely partners — and no one embodied that chaos more than Lawrence of Arabia. Was he a heroic bridge between cultures, or a brilliant pawn in Britain’s imperial game? This week’s Timesuck explores the daring raids, political deception, and lasting consequences of one man’s role in the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
