From the back cover:
Mata Hari is a name that has become synonymous with female spy since her execution by a French firing squad (in 1917) during World War I. The gentle squeezing of 12 fingers transformed a notoriously successful nude dancer into a legendary spy, and triggered an avalanche of words attempting to explain the mystery surrounding the life and death of this beautiful woman. The recent discovery of her own intimate memoirsare presented here in a new, unexpurgated translation that explodes the myth and exhibits the flesh, blood and bones of Mata Hari, as she intended. The true answers to the many questions surrounding her life are provided, with refreshing candor and shocking simplicity, for the first time. She omits nothing. From tormented youth to secually brutalized bride; from famous nude dancer to legendary courtesan-spy, it is all there -- excitingly told, fascinatingly true. At last, we are able to present the MATA HARI.
