Why The Dreyfus Affair Matters by Louis Begley
A concise, impassioned analysis that uses a late-19th-century French scandal in which a Jewish army officer was falsely convicted to show how anti‑Semitism, militarism and public hysteria can corrupt justice; it recounts the campaign to undo the verdict and highlights the roles of truth‑seeking intellectuals and civic courage, arguing that the episode endures as a warning about institutional failure, moral responsibility and the persistence of prejudice in modern democracies.
