In this second episode of 'John Buchan Unbound,' we journey into the vivid and shadowy streets of wartime Constantinople as depicted in John Buchan's "Greenmantle." This second instalment in Buchan's wartime novel series not only advances the adventures of Richard Hannay but also serves as a critical exploration of Buchan's role during The Great War. We analyze the intricate blending of fiction and historical fact, examining how Buchan's work in the Foreign Office and his experiences in propaganda subtly weave into the novel's narrative fabric.

'John Buchan Unbound' is supported by the John Buchan Society, founded to promote a wider understanding of the life and works of John Buchan (1875-1940).
