Honestly, I'm Jewish and I can't believe I've never heard of the Dreyfus Affair. It's basically what sprouted the State of Israel. Also, everybody says Dreyfus like D-R-A-Y-F-U-S. It's not actually pronounced like that. He was French, there's gonnsta be a weird pronunciation of the name. It's actually pronounced like D-R-A-Y-F-O-O.
You should read this book in one sitting and it will be less confusing.
