| Publisher Description: Three Jews, Dreyfus, Beilis and Frank, were charged with heinous crimes in the generation before World War I. The events that developed out of their trials pulled thousands of people into passionate confrontation. Quite aside from the lurid details and sensational charges, larger issues emerged, among them the power of modern anti-Semitism, the sometimes tragic conflict between the freedom of the press and the protection of individual rights, the unpredictable reactions of individuals when subjected to extreme situations, and the inevitable ambiguities of campaigns for truth and justice when political advantage is to be gained. |
