Summary "Greenmantle" by John Buchan is a novel written during the early 20th century, set against the backdrop of World War I. The story follows Major Richard Hannay and his comrades as they embark on a perilous mission to uncover a dangerous secret that could shift the balance of power during the war. The narrative promises an adventure filled with espionage, intrigue, and the exploration of themes surrounding duty, courage, and the unpredictable nature of war. At the start of the novel, Major Hannay is recuperating at a country house when he receives a telegram that propels him into a clandestine mission proposed by Sir Walter Bullivant of the Foreign Office. This mission involves tracing a potential catalyst that could ignite a holy war in the Islamic world, possibly leveraging discontent against the British Empire. As he prepares for this daunting task, Hannay recruits fellow soldiers and adventurers, including the resourceful and spirited Sandy Arbuthnot, and the clever American, John S. Blenkiron. Together, they navigate the complexities of international relations and the ideological motivations that underpin the Great War, setting the stage for a thrilling quest filled with danger and uncertainty.
