Synopsis "A Prince of our Disorder: The Life of t. E. Lawrence (in English)"

When this Pulitzer Prize-winning biography first appeared in 1976, it rescued T. E. Lawrence from the mythologizing that had seemed to be his fate. In it, John Mack humanely and objectively explores the relationship between Lawrence's inner life and his historically significant actions. Extensive interviews, far-flung correspondence, access to War Office dispatches and unpublished letters provide the basis for Mack's sensitive investigation of the psychiatric dimensions of Lawrence's personality. In addition, Mack examines the pertinent history, politics, and sociology of the time in order to weigh the real forces with which Lawrence contended and which impinged upon him.

John E Mack, psiquiatra de Harvard, ganó el premio Pulitzer por su biografía de T E Lawrence, A Prince of Our Disorder, de 1976, y ganó fama y notoriedad por su bestseller de 1994 Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens. John siempre se preocupó por las causas sociales, especialmente las amenazas nucleares y el medio ambiente humano, además de creer en las abducciones extraterrestres. El Dr. Mack fue el director fundador del Centro de Estudios Psicológicos en la Era Nuclear y participó activamente como miembro de Médicos por la Responsabilidad Social y de Médicos Internacionales para la Prevención de la Guerra Nuclear. Su interés por las historias de personas que dijeron haber sido abducidas por extraterrestres (los llamó sus “experimentadores”) comenzó en 1990.
