For fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash hit Broadway musical- Alexander Hamilton comes to life in his own words in this authoritative new collection.Ī brash immigrant who rises to become George Washington’s right hand man. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist digging ruins in Syria by 1919 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army, as he. The intertwined paths of these four young men - the schemes they put in place, the battles they fought, the betrayals they endured and committed - mirror the grandeur, intrigue and tragedy of the war in the desert. At the center of it all was Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence.

Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. He’s a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he’s never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship…and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. Now that his dad’s making a comeback, Luc’s back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.
