Reviews

'The real Greenmantle! This story of the German attempt to use Afghanistan as a launching pad for a religious war against the British in India is riveting.' - Antony Wynn, author of Persia in the Great Game 'A unique and fascinating story' General Sir David Richards, from the foreword to this book 'A beautifully conceived work that reads like a historical thriller but with all the implications of relevance today.'
