About This Book

A collection of journalistic impressions and essays reflecting on the Dreyfus affair, recounting public reactions and episodes of violence, criticizing military secrecy and abuses of authority, and analyzing the press's role in exposing and shaping opinion; the author traces moral consequences of collective hatred, explores legal injustice and humiliation inflicted on the accused, urges mercy and respect for human dignity, and combines personal anecdote with polemic to call for transparency, accountability, and tempering of authority by compassion.
