Why the Dreyfus Affair Matters
JANUARY 26, 2010 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
The prosecution of Alfred Dreyfus in nineteenth-century France, known as the Dreyfus Affair, exposed misconduct at the highest levels of the French Army and left France painfully divided and disgraced abroad. Author, lawyer, and Holocaust survivor, Louis Begley, transforms this history into lessons and warnings for the United States as it heals itself from the misdeeds of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.
