The Dreyfus affair--the famous account of French Jewish army officer Alfred Dreyfus unjustly convicted of treason in 1894--was the most significant political and social crisis of fin-de-siècle Europe. This book, designed to introduce the broad outlines and significant history, deftly interweaves text with documents, tracing the events of the affair and highlighting militant nationalism, socialism, the birth of modern Zionism, the separation of church and state, and the emergence of the "intellectual" in the political arena. The 66 documents offer a broad range of sources, including newspaper editorials, letters, trial testimony, and diary entries.
