Up against anti-Semitism, military resistance, and opposition from the Church of France, Zola committed his life to fighting for justice. This is the story of Zola’s battle to help Alfred Dreyfus reclaim his freedom and clear his name. Émile Zola, a popular journalist, determined to bring the truth to light, undertook the challenge to publicly expose the facts surrounding the military cover-up. Anyone who sought to reopen the Dreyfus court-martial became victimized and persecuted and was considered an enemy of the state. The news that could exonerate him was leaked to the press, but was suppressed by the military. An innocent Jewish military officer, Alfred Dreyfus, was unjustly sentenced to life imprisonment on a desolate island. In 1895, France was torn asunder by a scandal that rocked the nation and divided the country. It is a relatively short read – the paperback is 172 pages long. The new book continues the historic and justice themes.
