By this time, Emile Zola was already a very famous novelist, and he was about to expose the truth to a country that didn’t want to hear it.   Sources  Sam Aronow The Dreyfus Affair  [https://youtu.be/p-pXFErq868?si=NJRy3RXHUL8kmQ1k]  Emile Zola Brittanica [https://www.britannica.com/biography/Emile-Zola]  CNRS How the Dreyfus Affair Went Global [https://news.cnrs.fr/articles/how-the-dreyfus-affair-went-global]  J'accuse Letter to the President of the Republic by Emile Zola 1898 [https://www.marxists.org/archive/zola/1898/jaccuse.htm?utm_source=copilot.com] - A must read!  Hachette [https://www.hachette.com/]  Émile Zola (Author of Germinal) - Goodreads [https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4750._mile_Zola]  Music Last Hero by Alex-Productions | https://onsound.eu/ [https://onsound.eu/]  Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ [https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/]  Creative Commons CC BY 3.0
