Codenamed “The Cat”, she co-founded the largest intelligence network in Occupied France and inspired her recruits to fight a secret war against the Germans. Carré delivered priceless information to the Allies, and her commitment to their cause seemed beyond question. But the reputation of The Cat hid a flawed and volatile personality, driven by a deadly combination of personal ambition, vanity and jealousy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen she finally fell into enemy hands, Carré chose to save herself rather than her comrades, betraying dozens of her own agents. Becoming her captor’s mistress, she enjoyed a life of luxury in Paris and earned the respect of her new German masters. But when a secret affair with a British agent led her to escape to London, Carré’s true intentions raised serious questions. How far could she be trusted, and where did her allegiances really lie? At her trial The Cat’s extraordinary exploits were finally revealed to the public, transforming a resistance hero into a figure of public hatred. Condemned to death, she remained fiercely unrepentant to the end, presenting herself as a victim of circumstance rather than a willing traitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMathilde Carré was a fascinatingly complex and enigmatic character who worked for the French, British, Polish and German secret services and double crossed them all. The result of more than ten years’ research, She Was The Cat is a story that poses questions about the boundaries between resistance and collaboration, and the power of myth and self-delusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cbr\u003e      \u003chr style=\"border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); height: 2px; margin: 0;\"\u003e    ","brand":"Pen and Sword Military","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67603471433902,"sku":"9781036144555","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/2486\/9806\/files\/9781036144555.jpg?v=1790745887","url":"https:\/\/rzm.com\/products\/the-spy-who-betrayed-the-treachery-of-mathilde-carre-codenamed-the-cat","provider":"RZM Imports Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
