“The Dreyfus Affair, which rocked France at the turn of the century, stands today as a timely lesson in morality which we in the civilized world cannot afford to bury in the pages of history.
Truly a literary find, the diary of Captain Dreyfus has been out of print since 1901 and appears here in its complete, original form.  IN his own words, Dreyfus tells of his experiences from the time of his arrest, his years on Devil’s Island, and his eventual vindication.  Based on his own personal story, the book sheds much new light on this most infamous, emotional episode that tore France apart and shocked the world.”
