 | | Margarete Gertrud Zelle, known to posterity by her alias, Mata Hari, is one of the most infamous spies of the 20th century. |
 | | By all accounts, the Dutch-born Zelle was not a particularly successful spy, yet her story embodies all the elements -- daring, exoticism, and a chameleonic persona -- that make the best espionage cases so alluring to the human imagination. |
 | | Sometime later, Zelle was reincarnated in Paris as Mata Hari, a high-class exotic dancer purportedly of Hindu birth. |
