...This is very sad but lawrence is accepted with the arabs and they form a great team after they rade a city and get lots of money to buy weapons.

Review of Lawrence Of Arabia (DVD)

...a little known film actor. Lawrence had a great empathy with Arabs and their culture. It is through this that he was able to command the loyalty of the warring Arab tribes and unite them in aiding the British to defeating the Turks who were allied to Germany during World War I.
