Philby of Arabia
Douban
Elizabeth Monroe publishing house: Quartet Books 1980
This volume charts the life of Harry St John Philby. For the most part of his career he was at odds with the British Government over broken promises to the Arabs, but it was out of admiration for the Arab king, Ibn Saud, that he chose to earn his living in Arabia.

读过《Philby of Arabia》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
真是有其子必有其父,都热衷双重身份的生活,为了自己的正义事业可以死磕到底,并多多少少把政治理想放错了对象。不过Jack急躁易怒、直言不讳的脾气和Kim是天壤之别。他是沙漠里的烈日,世事在他眼里非对即错、黑白分明得不留一点妥协余地。时常莽撞,永远独立,付出的代价是他的政治主张常常因此流产,没能在中东五十年的时局发展中发挥重要作用,但他的足迹遍及阿拉伯半岛,绘制了众多前无古人的精确地图,贡献了大量独特的鸟类标本、地质标本、古代文物,还留下海量记录和通信,人生异常丰富。他的英国妻子Dora真是圣人,能够忍受他的各种缺点和他同甘共苦,婚姻的忠贞和坚韧方面Jack配不上她!(还为了他正面怼TE哈哈哈哈∼∼)
