J'accuse! by Émile Zola

Lettre au Président de la République

A fiery public open letter addressed to the president that denounces a grave miscarriage of justice in the Dreyfus affair, accuses high-ranking military officers and government officials of falsifying evidence, perjury, antisemitism and a systematic cover-up, and demands a retrial, truth and accountability; its publication provoked a national uproar, polarized French society, and helped galvanize the movement that ultimately led to the wrongly convicted officer's rehabilitation.
