Accused of betraying France, Captain Alfred Dreyfus is exiled to a prison on Devil's Island, far from his wife and children. It's a horrible fate -- but what if he's innocent?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeven thousand miles away, the famous writer Emile Zola wonders: Is Alfred a traitor to France? Or a victim of antisemitism? Convinced that Alfred is innocent, Emile knows that it is his DUTY to help. He pens the famous letter \"J'Accuse ...!\", explaining that Alfred was blamed, charged, tried and convicted ... only because he is Jewish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis powerful middle-grade story written in verse with full-page illustrations is told from the perspectives of both Alfred Dreyfus and Emile Zola, two men whose courage changed the world.
