Who is Lawrence of Arabia from Strategy and what is their importance?

Lawrence of Arabia is one of the Great Captains used as a model in this book. His military strategy and his ability to apply them were both phenomenal. Much like Clausewitz, although he only figures in largely during one chapter as the model commander, his name recurs as having been a resource to numerous future generals. Despite the truth that Liddell Hart does not "go on about him at great length", the name crops up right until the very end as holding significance to modern generals.
