Abstract:
In December 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French artillery officer, was court-martialed for selling military secrets, based on perjured testimony and trumped-up evidence. After five years on Devil's Island, the case was overturned and Dreyfus was exonerated, but the Dreyfus Affair tore France apart, pitting Dreyfusards against nationalists, anti-Semites, and militarists. Reminds us of the interest each one of us has in the faithful execution of laws as the safeguard of our liberties and honor. Descriptions of violence. 2009.
