Veronica Gaisford: Most men desired her, many treasured her, some mistrusted her, but none of them was indifferent. Amid the violence and bitterness of the First World War and the years that used, she bound together the lives of three very different men. She was exceptional - beautiful, ardent, and passionately faithful to her local Ireland. She could have been a traitor or a saint. Francis Carr, a Foreign Office civil servant, met Veronica, newly-widowed in Berlin, and fifty percent fell in love with her, doubting her apparent innocence. His cousin John Marvell treasured her boundlessly, blindly, won her and lost her, and was prepared to perjure himself on her behalf safety. Her relationship with Gerhardt Brendthase, a young German official with the Imperial Standard Staff in Berlin, was more ambiguous - was it an emotional or a professional attachment?
