In this classic espionage adventure Buchan shows his mastery of the thriller and the Stevensonian romance, and also his enormous knowledge of world politics before and during the First World War. The intrepid four move in disguise through Germany to Constantinople and the Russian border to face their enemies - the grotesque Stumm and the evil beauty of Hilda von Einem. Blenkiron, the American determined to fight the Kaiser and Sandy Arbuthnot, Greenmantle himself, modelled on Lawrence of Arabia. He is joined by three more of Buchan's heroes: Peter Pienaar, the old Boer Scout John S. In Greenmantle (1916) Richard Hannay, hero of The Thirty-Nine Steps, travels across war-torn Europe in search of a German plot and an Islamic Messiah.
