Book description
Des milliers de livres existent sur l'affaire à laquelle Alfred Dreyfus a donné son nom, mais nul n'a jamais écrit sa biographie. Curieuse, troublante lacune?

Why read it?
1 author picked Alfred Dreyfus as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the best history of the Dreyfus Affair and I wish it were available in English. Whereas most histories of the Affair cast Dreyfus as a hapless victim or as a patriotic automaton, who might not have even been a Dreyfusard had he not been Dreyfus, Duclert shows him to have been a true hero, whose super-human resolve and fortitude eventually allowed justice to prevail. Dreyfus emerges not as a martyr to antisemitism but as the first example of the resistance hero, the model for the struggle against authoritarianism and state terror in the twentieth century.
From Maurice's list on Jews in modern France.
