Few scandals have tested a democracy as brutally as the Dreyfus Affair.
In late-19th-century France, a Jewish army officer was falsely accused of treason and condemned in the name of national security. What followed was not merely a miscarriage of justice, but a civil war of ideas: truth versus authority, reason versus nationalism, and democracy versus its own dark instincts.
In The Dreyfus Affair, Evan Blackmoor delivers a gripping, sharply written investigation into how the French state sacrificed an innocent man to preserve institutional power. Drawing on trials, secret files, press wars, and political manipulation, this book reveals how antisemitism, military secrecy, and media hysteria combined to nearly fracture the Republic.
More than a historical account, this is a warning. The mechanisms that destroyed Alfred Dreyfus—disinformation, judicial capture, and patriotic lies—are not relics of the past. They are the foundations of modern political scandals.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how democracies fail—and how they can still be saved.
