Lines in the Sand
Chapter 8: Political Geography
Thoughts and Ruminations
In Lines in the Sand, by Cullen Murphy, a map drawn by T.E. Lawrence is discussed. This map was discovered by Lawrence in 1918 and submitted to the British government who was drawing the new boundaries for the Middle East. Lawrence's map had boundaries that were beneficial to the areas underlying social and religious contours. However, his map was rejected and the British government drew their own boundaries and changing Middle Eastern countries territoriality from then on.
