Third of Buchan’s novels featuring retired Glasgow merchant Dickson McCunn, whose adventure during a revolution in the fictional middle European country of Evallonia “is uneasily Ruritanian; the tale, dominated by the actions of Juventus, a gang of cleancut populist ‘Greenshirts’ whose military ‘discipline’ evokes the darker Shirts that Buchan intended as a satire and warning about interbellum European politics” (SFE)
