John Buchan: A Man For Our Time? with Professor Murray Pittock and Geoffrey Baskerville | Ep 46

Catherine Maxwell Stuart introduces Professor Murray Pittock who paints a fascinating picture of John Buchan, author of The Thirty-Nine Steps, and a Scot who wasn’t just a literary legend, but a man who was well ahead of his time on issues that still resonate today from Scottish nationalism to the rights of indigenous peoples. Geoffrey Baskerville asks the questions.
