Dreyfus

By Walther Steinthal

"Dreyfus" by Walther Steinthal is a compelling historical account of one of the most significant political and social scandals in modern European history: the Dreyfus Affair. At the center of this narrative is Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French army who was wrongfully convicted of treason in 1894. Steinthal explores the complex web of espionage, institutional corruption, and rampant antisemitism that fueled the controversy, dividing France for over a decade.

The work delves into the legal proceedings, the role of the press-most notably mile Zola's "J'accuse... "-and the eventual exoneration of Dreyfus. By examining the societal tensions between the republican ideals of liberty and the conservative forces of the military and the church, Steinthal provides a detailed look at a turning point in French history. This book serves as an essential study of justice, human rights, and the power of public opinion. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in military law, Jewish history, and the political landscape of the Third Republic.
