The incident has gone down in history as the Dreyfus affair, the reverberations from which were felt throughout Europe. It ultimately ended with Dreyfus's complete exoneration. Jean Jaures and Emile Zola amongst others came to his rescue and ultimately succeeded. Scarce, according to Worldcat only in three Dutch libraries.
