The Letters of Captain Dreyfus to His Wife (Paperback)

1899. With portraits. These are the letters of the French army officer who was the subject of the Dreyfus Affair to his wife, written during the period of his misfortunes. Dreyfus was arrested in 1894 for treason. He was charged with giving military secrets to Germany. However his conviction was based on circumstantial evidence. Dreyfus was framed. While he suffered on Devils Island new evidence came about that indicated his innocence and nothing was done about it. His cause was greatly helped when Emile Zola wrote an open letter under the headline J'Accuse, accusing the army of covering up its errors in making the case. Dreyfus was eventually pardoned and went on to serve in World War I.
