Traitors and Turncoats (H/C)

If I Had to Choose Between Betraying My Friend and Betraying My Country, I Hope I Should Have the Courage to Betray My Country.' so Wrote the English Novelist E.M. Forster in 1951. People Have Betrayed Their Country, or Their Friends, for All Kinds of Different Reasons - and One Man's Traitor May Be Another Man's Hero, Especially As Those Found Guilty of Treason Have Usually Faced Only One Penalty Death. Betrayal for Money is Perhaps the Most Despicable Level of Treachery - Not for Nothing is the Term 'Judas' Applied With Such Contempt; Others Have Earned the Mark of Treason for Rebelling Against Established Authority. the Stories in Traitors and Turncoats Range From a British Seaman in the Second World War Who Sold Information to the Germans for a Pittance, to the White Rose Gang's Defiant Campaign Against Hitler; From the Recusant Terrorism of Guy Fawkes, to the Abolitionist Fury of John Brown; From the Unwitting Treason of Lady Jane Grey, to the Deadly Perfidy of Mata Hari.
