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. He is joined by three more of Buchan's
heroes: Peter Pienaar, the old Boer Scout; John S. Blenkiron, the
American determined to fight the Kaiser; and Sandy Arbuthnot,
Greenmantle himself, modelled on Lawrence of Arabia. 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. 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. This edition illuminates for the
first time the many levels beneath the stirring plot and romantic
characters. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
