The Dreyfus Affair, the setting for this atmospheric and compelling thriller. The historical accuracy of the infamous miscarriage of justice only adds to the excellence of the story-telling. Our hero is an up and coming army officer, intelligent and patriotic. A man of principle and dedication who himself becomes the victim of the corruption and anti-Semitism of the powerful army elite as he fights to expose the web of deceit within the French Establishment and the cruel injustice of Dreyfus's imprisonment on Devil's Island.
