About This Item

N.p.: Associated Publishing Company, 1899. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo. 406 pages. Hardcover bound in burgundy cloth. Heavy wear to the binding, which as some mottling and old damp stains and non-active mildrew stains. A reading copy only. The inner hinges are secure, and the text itself is a little toned but generally quite clean. Illustrated. This is the notorious case of Captain Alfred Dreyfus a French artillery officer who was Jewish and who was charged with treason and railroaded through a unprofessional trail and sentences to life in prison at Devil's Island. Later it came out that the real traitor was someone else, but the evidence was suppressed and the whistle blower was transferred. There was an army cover up to conceal his innocence. His supporters made a lot of noise and engaged a campaign for a new trial. He was eventually released. There were not many Jewish officers in the French Army, and anti-Semitism was evident in his superiors and his charges. The "Dreyfus Affair" created quite a stir in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
