The Eye of the Day
Mata Hari (“the eye of the day” in Bahasa Indonesia) was born Margaretha Zelle in the province of Friesland, The Netherlands. There was nothing *really* exotic about her – except that she was blackhaired and dark eyed, unique among a nation of blonde giants. She was to become one of the most famous figures of espionage.
From officer’s wife to exotic dancer to spy, read her full story at the Crime Library.
