The Tragedy Of Dreyfus – G.w. Steevens

Experience the seismic national crisis that was the Dreyfus Affair through the vivid, contemporary lens of British journalist G.W. Steevens. Published in 1899, this non-fiction work chronicles the monumental trial of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish army captain falsely accused of espionage. Steevens exposes the deep schisms in French society and the virulent anti-Semitism that fueled the injustice. This is an essential, on-the-ground account of a miscarriage of justice that irrevocably altered the course of modern French history.
