  It appears to be revisionism on a grand scale. Popular imagination, fed on 
  Peter O'Toole's portrayal in David Lean's film classic Lawrence of Arabia, 
  will have a hard time absorbing the startling assertion by the historian Sir 
  Martin Gilbert that its hero was in fact a "serious Zionist" who 
  believed in a "Jewish state from the Mediterranean shore to the River 
  Jordan".

  Sir Martin, who plans to back up his myth-challenging claim in his next 
  book, declared here this week that TE Lawrence, long regarded as the 
  unrivalled prototype of the British Arabist, "had a sort of contempt 
  for the Arabs, actually. He felt that only with a Jewish state would the 
  Arabs make anything of themselves."
