The subtitle of the work is «Le premier des dreyfusards»; the edition is from 2003, in the «références» collection of LGF/Le Livre de Poche.
Aimed at readers interested in the Dreyfus affair, the history of the French Third Republic and the role of its intellectuals.
Jean-Denis Bredin was a French attorney and founding partner of the firm Bredin Prat. He was widely admired as an author-commentator, both for his novels and for his non-fiction works, with a particular focus on recent and contemporary history. On 15 June 1989, he was elected to membership of the Académie Française, becoming the twentieth occupant of seat 3, which had been vacated through the death of Marguerite Yourcenar. His daughter, Frédérique Bredin, served between 2013 and 2019 as President of the French National Center of Cinematography and the moving image.
