Publication Type: Paper (prepared oral presentation) Abstract: A discussion of the complex history and politics of the Middle East is incomplete without the inclusion of T.E. Lawrence, well known to the general public, and Richard Meinertzhagen, less well known but nevertheless an imposing figure. The psychological portrayal of these two men and their competition contributes an interesting facet to the history of this region and makes us question not only what is history but what do we consider primary and secondary sources. Lawrence and Meinertzhagen were contemporaries, knew one another, and wrote about one another in none too flattering terms. The exploits of Lawrence are well documented in his book, the epic movie, and other sources that generally support his accounts although some historians suggest he may have embellished his role in some events. Meinertzhagen, much less well known to historians, presents an entirely different scenario. Although several books have been written about him, describing him as a soldier, scientist, spy, and diplomat more recent and thorough investigations have questioned the veracity of his escapades. Of special interest to this region is the “rucksack ruse” at Bethsheba aiding Allenby’s efforts and his Zionism. This presentation will focus on one aspect of Meinertzhagen and Lawrence; that is their roles in partitioning the lands of the Middle East. Overlooking their strong personalities and examining documents lead to different conclusions. The question becomes what the truth, particularly as one begins to develop a psychobiography of Meinertzhagen.
