The Dreyfus Affair began with the persecution of Alfred Dreyfus, the French Army's most promising Jewish offcer, who was falsely accused of passing military secrets to Germany. It ended as the cause celebre of the 19th century. Here is a stunning re-creation of this terrible act of injustice, brilliantly told by a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
