Lettres d'un Innocent: The Letters of Captain Dreyfus to His Wife

Alfred Dreyfus was a French army officer taken to court for allegedly selling secrets to the German military. The accusation of espionage was based on dubious evidence. The press and many others watching the trial welcomed the guilty verdict because he was a French Jew. Thus began the infamous Dreyfus Affair, a significant event in French history during which the French people supported Dreyfus against the French military's attempts at censure.
