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.
