The book is written is an objective tone with the story being told through the eyes of Lawrence. The first person style lends more credibility to the events because the reader knows that Lawrence was there and is telling the story in his own words. There is little narrative emotion in the book, even when Lawrence writes of his injuries. The book is a presentation of the facts and events from Lawrence's point of view. He writes of his role in each of the events and tells the story of the event. Much of the book is the story of Lawrence and his teams on marches across the desert.
