It was a new and more sinister version of the old Great Game, with world domination as its ultimate aim.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Here, told in epic detail and for the first time, is the true story behind John Buchan's classic wartime thriller Greenmantle, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and others who took part in it.
