The Diary of Mata Hari

Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod (1876–1917), better known by the stage name Mata Hari, was a Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan who was convicted of being a spy for Germany during World War I. Despite her having admitted under interrogation to taking money to work as a German spy, some people still believe she was innocent, because the French Army needed a scapegoat. She was executed by firing squad in France. This is supposed to be the true account of Mata Hari whose legend has enflamed and fascinated men and women for nearly a century.
