	Aaron Aaronsohn (1876 - 1919)
		Aaron Aaronsohn in his position as scientific advisor to the Turkish commander on the locust problem was able to move about freely throughout Palestine and Syria, and in the process gathered information which he believed was invaluable to the Allies when and if they decided to invade the Holy Land.
		Aaronsohn firmly believed that the British would be persuaded by the Nili material of their error in not invading Palestine.
		Aaronsohn now strongly felt that the rescue of Palestinian Jewry had become a matter of top priority, and that it was vital for the British to understand that unless the Holy Land was liberated the Jews and the country's other inhabitants would not survive.

	Aaron Aaronsohn: Agronomist, Spy, Zionist
		Aaron Aaronsohn (1876-1919) was a member of the remarkable Aaronsohn family who were early chalutzim in Eretz Yisrael, and he became the leading agronomist in the country.
		The Aaronsohn family, and Aaron in particular, made a substantial contribution to the events leading up to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, but it is puzzling that history has not given them, especially Aaron, full credit.
		Aaron Aaronsohn was a man of charisma and was highly respected by key British government figures, but he was a difficult man, and this led him to make enemies in Zionist circles.

	Parallel lives - Haaretz - Israel News
		What is certain is that the paths of Lawrence and Aaron Aaronsohn, Sarah's brother and the organizer of NILI (the name is a Hebrew acronym of the words meaning "the eternity of Israel does not lie," a quote from I Samuel 15), crossed repeatedly, in Cairo, London and Paris, during 1916-1919.
		Aaronsohn was tall and broad, Prussian-looking, down to earth and systematic; Lawrence, scrawny and short, flighty and depressive.
		The story of Aaronsohn, who did not have Lawrence's self-promoting talents or enjoy the later services of popularizing biographers, is about a rather dour, quarrelsome man, the embattled Jewish community in Palestine, and their interaction with the American and British Zionists and governments.

	Chasing Ray - Aaronsohn's Maps by Patricia Goldstone
		Aaronsohn all too often found himself pushed aside by various groups who all saw their own vision for Palestine and refused to listen to the more centrist view proposed by a man who saw the region not as a Biblical homeland but a place on earth with its own unique climate concerns.
		When the group was discovered by the Turks it resulted in a round of torture and death that is graphically depicted in the book; particularly in the case of Sarah, who suffered agonies that are barely describable before she was able to locate a hidden weapon and end her own life.
		Goldstone suggests that Sarah and Lawrence might have had a relationship far beyond that acknowledged by their families and presents the spy as a realistic candidate for the mysterious “S.A” to whom Lawrence dedicated his book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

		The text devoted to Lawrence's loss of his manuscript and Aaronsohn's death is short in relation to their respective impact, but both are followed by a very good analysis of the impact of the men's lives on the future.

		The flamboyant, romantic Lawrence who was so attracted by the free life of tribal randomness seems the polar opposite of the methodical, scientific Aaronsohn who was so dedicated to the creation of a Jewish homeland.
		The unpredictable Lawrence and the often obnoxious Aaronsohn may not have been regarded as good company by their contemporaries, but in this dual biography they are as fascinating as their turbulent times.
		T.E. Lawrence and Aaron Aaronsohn are, in many ways, the fathers of the modern Middle East and its myriad woes.
