The Tragedy of Dreyfus, written by G.W. Steevens, is a historical account of the infamous Dreyfus Affair that occurred in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book delves into the political and social climate of France during this time, as well as the anti-Semitism that was prevalent in society. The central figure of the book is Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish military officer who was falsely accused of espionage and subsequently imprisoned on Devil's Island. The book explores the events that led up to Dreyfus' arrest, the trial that followed, and the public outcry that ensued. Steevens provides a detailed analysis of the key players in the affair, including military officials, politicians, and journalists, and examines the impact that the scandal had on French society. The Tragedy of Dreyfus is a compelling and insightful account of one of the most significant events in French history, and sheds light on the complex issues of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and justice that continue to resonate today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
