Comment on structure

The structure of the book is a little unusual in that instead of an Introduction, there are a set of introductory chapters. Aside from that, there are ten books which contain one hundred fifteen short chapters. Each book is devoted to a different aspect of the Arab Revolt. Lawrence also takes the time to provide the background of the region and its people and how they came to be dominated by the Turks. Most of this information is contained in the introductory chapters.
