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--a character modelled on Lawrence of Arabia. Together they move in disguise through Germany to Constantinople and the Russian border in order to face their enemies: the grotesque Stumm and the evil femmefatale Hilda von Einem.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
