Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines one of the great scandals in French history and the massive cover-up that followed. It is the case of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer, falsely accused of treason and sent on trumped-up charges to Devil's Island in 1894. The story reveals the deep-rooted anti-Semitism of that era, and the complicity of the highest echelons of power in the military and government, which orchestrated the plot and then obstructed the search for truth and justice for over a decade. The author lays bare the depth of the corruption and the lengths to which people will go to conceal their crimes. This book is a powerful reminder of the destructive consequences of prejudice and the importance of fighting for what is right, even when it means going up against the most formidable foes.
