While assisting screenwriter Robert Bolt with research, Anthony Nutting was working on his own biography of T.E. Lawrence. He became convinced that the war hero Lawrence had left something out of the final edition of "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" regarding his description of his capture and mistreatment by the Turkish police. Nutting finally uncovered a rare 1922 edition of the manuscript and a letter to George Bernard Shaw's wife both of which strongly suggested that the Turkish Bey had actually raped Lawrence, a fact only hinted at in the movie.
