This book happens to be about a subject I was already interested in. This is a fictionalized account of what is generally called the Dreyfus affair. Beginning in 1894 and continuing through 1906 Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused and unjustly imprisoned on Devil's Island. (Devil's Island was closed so Dreyfus was held alone.) Through the efforts of a relentless investigator and with the help of writer Émile Zola the truth finally came out.

The book is told from the view point of Georges Picquart
