Trade Review
"An important contribution both to the ever-mounting history of the [Dreyfus] Affair and to the general history of Jewry in the modern period." (Times Literary Supplement) "This meticulous account of the anti-Semitic hysteria that swept France in 1898... makes for terrifying and fascinating reading." (Atlantic Monthly)"
