Mathilde Carre, notoriously known as La Chatte, was remarkable for
all the wrong reasons. Like most spies she was temperamental,
scheming and manipulative - but she was also treacherous. A
dangerous mix, especially when combined with her infamous history
of love affairs - on both sides. Her acts of treachery were almost
unprecedented in the history of intelligence, yet her involvement
in the 'Interallie affair' has only warranted a brief mention in
the accounts of special operations in France during the Second
World War. But what motivated her to betray more than 100 members
of the Interallie network, the largest spy network in France? Was
she the only guilty party, or were others equally as culpable?
Using previously unpublished material from MI5 files, Double Agent
Victoire explores the events that led to her betrayal, who may have
'cast the first stone', and their motivations, as well as how the
lives and careers of those involved were affected. It reveals a
story full of intrigue, sex, betrayal and double-dealing, involving
a rich cast including members of the French Resistance, German
Abwehr and British Intelligence.
