Publisher's Synopsis
The Dreyfus Affair is a historical book written by Jacques Kayser that delves into one of the most famous political scandals in French history. The book provides a comprehensive account of the events surrounding the wrongful conviction of Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jewish army officer accused of espionage in 1894. Kayser's book examines the political, social, and cultural factors that led to Dreyfus's conviction and subsequent exoneration, including the rise of anti-Semitism in France, the influence of the military establishment, and the role of the media in shaping public opinion. The author also explores the key players involved in the affair, including Dreyfus himself, his supporters, and his detractors, including figures such as �����mile Zola, who famously wrote an open letter titled ""J'accuse"" in defense of Dreyfus. Kayser's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book a fascinating read for anyone interested in French history, politics, and culture.
