Alfred Dreyfus was a French artillery officer of Jewish background whose trial and conviction in 1894 on charges of treason became one of the most tense political dramas in modern French history. Known today as the Dreyfus Affair, the incident eventually ended with Dreyfus' complete exoneration, due to the persistance of Georges Picquart and Emile Zola.[1]
The spy who actually performed the acts Dreyfus was accused of was Charles Marie Ferdinand Walsin-Esterhazy.
