Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 15, 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish artillery captain attached to the French General Staff, was arrested on charges of having betrayed his country by selling military secrets to the Germans. He was convicted of treason by military court-martial and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island, but over the next 12 years a small group of human rights supporters was able to clear him and identify the real traitor, and Dreyfus was pardoned. The most sensational case in French history, it pitted national security interests against individual rights, exposed the anti-Semitism that permeated France, and influenced the course of Europe as it rumbled toward the first of two world wars. This work provides the first comprehensive examination of this incident for students, including a narrative historical overview, essays on major aspects of the event, lengthy biographical profiles of the key players, the text of important primary documents contemporary to the time, a timeline of the event and list of French Presidents and Ministers of War during the Affair, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography of print and electronic sources and films suitable for students. This is an ideal resource for student use. Leslie Derfler, the foremost American authority on the Dreyfus Affair, puts the Affair in historical and social context for the reader. In addition to an historical overview, other essays examine the French political context before Dreyfus, the issue of anti-Semitism in the Affair, the Socialists' position, and how historical perceptions of the Dreyfus Affair have shifted over the last hundred years. Lengthy biographies of key players enrich the reader's understanding of the role of the protagonists and antagonists in the Affair. A wide range of primary source documents, from Alfred Dreyfus's diary descriptions of the torment he suffered on Devil's Island to Emile Zola's famous J'accuse! letter accusing the Army high command and the French government of conspiring to hide the truth and protect the guilty party, bring to life the emotional content of the Affair. A selection of rare photographs and newspaper illustrations and cartoons provides a valuable visual component.

Book excerpt: Volume one of a comprehensive series on the Dreyfus Affair, this account chronicles for the first time in English and day by day, the drama that destabilized French society (1894-1906) and reverberated across the world. A deliberate miscarriage of justice, the public degradation of an innocent Jewish officer and his incarceration on Devil's Island, espionage, intrigue, media pressure, vehement antisemitism and political skulduggery - topics so relevant to our times - are set within a broad historical context. Meticulous research, new translations of key documents, a wealth of primary sources and illustrations and a select bibliography make this an indispensable reference work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedy of Dreyfus In 1894 there was attached to the General Staff of the French Army a captain of artillery named Alfred Dreyfus. He belonged to a Jewish family of Mühlhausen, in Alsace - a family which has distinguished itself since the annexation by its attachment to France. Two of his three brothers, like himself, opted in 1872 for French nationality; the eldest, who remained at Mühlhausen to manage the family factories, after sending his six sons successively to France, finally retired from business in 1897, and became naturalized as a Frenchman also. Alfred Dreyfus was, in 1894, thirty-five years old. He had the reputation of a very industrious and intelligent officer; but his demeanour oscillated between complaisance and ostentation, and he was not popular among his comrades. In September of that year a secret agent brought a document to Major Henry, sub-chief of the Intelligence Department of the War Office; it was torn into little pieces, and was said to have been taken from the overcoat pocket of Colonel Schwarzkoppen, the German Military Attache in Paris.
