What this book is about
Talbot Mundy's 1920 adventure novel is set in the Taurus Mountains of Asia Minor during the Armenian Genocide, following four British adventurers who become witnesses to and participants in the resistance at Zeitoon. Mundy's adventure fiction is unusual for its era in taking the Armenian cause seriously and depicting Turkish atrocities with some directness, though through the lens of British imperialist adventure conventions.
