Why the Dreyfus Affair Matters by Louis Begley
In December 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a brilliant French artillery officer and a Jew of Alsatian descent, was court-martialed for selling secrets to the German military attache in Paris based on perjured testimony and trumped-up evidence. This title provides an account of this famously complex case.
