a very good book...The End of the Affair
"In a book on the Dreyfus Affair, writer-lawyer Louis Begley offers a 21st-century J’accuse"As terrible as what was done to Dreyfus was, the saving grace for him was the arrogance of those all up the command line of the military as much as his support by people from all ranks of society. The military officers out to railroad Dreyfus behaved as if nothing could stand up to their words and actions, and, ultimately, thank God, they found out that they were wrong.
I've always been fascinated by what became known as The Dreyfus Affair...
