About this ebook

The original international woman of mystery, Mata Hari is maligned as a spy and a traitor. Having seduced a number of the most powerful men in Europe, she was accused of spying for both Allied and Central Powers during the First World War. Mata Hari’s biography tells a different story. From her remarkable transformation from a captain’s wife and mother in the Dutch East Indies to the most celebrated stage presence in Europe, Mata Hari fought for what she believed in. Yet what she believed in was neither France’s independence, nor Germany’s superiority, but her own personal quest for luxury, adventure, and love.

I find this short read on the life of Mata Hari very enlightening in the brief accounts of her life. A tragic end to her life and is still questionable to this day on whether or not she was a spy, is not clear. Well worth the read for the benefit of learning from people in history, and hopefully we all can learn from past historic accounts of both people or events.
