Book Description

This 1915 spy story by John Buchan (1875-1940) is archetypal of the genre in which a British hero thwarts foreign enemies. Although the book is an exciting, if occasionally implausible, adventure story, it may be marred for a modern readership by the racism and anti-Semitism it expresses.

About the Author

John Buchan is best remembered for his adventure stories and in particular the five Hannay novels, which include Greenmantle, The Three Hostages, and The Island of Sheep.
