January 1895. On a freezing morning in the heart of Paris, an army officer, George Picquart, witnessed a convicted spy, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, being publicly humiliated in front of twenty thousand spectators baying “Death to the Jews!”
The officer is rewarded with promotion: Picquart is made the French army’s youngest colonel and put in command of “the Statistical Section” – the shadowy intelligence unit that tracked down Dreyfus.
The spy, meanwhile, is given a punishment of medieval cruelty: shipped off to a lifetime of solitary confinement on Devil’s Island, Dreyfus is forbidden to speak to anyone, even his guards, and his case seems closed for ever.
But gradually Picquart comes to believe there is something rotten at the heart of the Statistical Section. When he discovers another German spy operating on French soil, his superiors are oddly reluctant to pursue it. Despite official warnings, Picquart persists, and soon the officer and the spy are in the same predicament…
Narrated by Picquart, An Officer and a Spy is a compelling recreation of a scandal that became the most famous miscarriage of justice in history. Compelling, too, are the echoes for our modern world: an intelligence agency gone rogue, justice corrupted in the name of national security, a newspaper witch-hunt of a persecuted minority, and the age-old instinct of those in power to cover up their crimes.

Curé follows my gaze. “I know what you're thinking.”
“Do you?”
“Why, if he’s fifty and the son-in-law of a marquis, is he stuck in a dump like this? Certainly it's the first thing I’d want to know.”
“Well then, since you bring it up, why is he?”
“Because he has no money.”
“Even with all these connections?
“He gambles it away. Not just at the table, either. On the racetrack and the stock market.”
“Surely his wife must have some capital?”
“Ah, but she's got wise to him. I heard him complain that she's even put the country house in her name, to protect herself from his creditors. She won't let him have a sou.”
“He also has an apartment in Paris.”
“You may be sure that's hers as well.” (查看原文)
大概四分之一之后渐入佳境，人物刻画和制造悬念的节奏都把握得特别好。一个“集体”压倒“个人”，为了“方便”和“掩盖”而忽略真相和正义的故事。不光是在法国的军方，纵观历史也屡见不鲜。在特定环境下，族裔和一些“特立独行”的特质也许会招致祸端。Piquart多少也有点这个意思，但他行事更老练亲友也更有人脉。最后的结局有点anticlimax，经过几轮公开的非公开的庭审都未能获得的正义，因政局变化在不声不响...大概四分之一之后渐入佳境，人物刻画和制造悬念的节奏都把握得特别好。一个“集体”压倒“个人”，为了“方便”和“掩盖”而忽略真相和正义的故事。不光是在法国的军方，纵观历史也屡见不鲜。在特定环境下，族裔和一些“特立独行”的特质也许会招致祸端。Piquart多少也有点这个意思，但他行事更老练亲友也更有人脉。最后的结局有点anticlimax，经过几轮公开的非公开的庭审都未能获得的正义，因政局变化在不声不响中实现了，共谋的“坏人”并没有得到惩罚。Major Henry说的“You order me to shoot a man and I’ll shoot him.”不正是以集体之名作恶的人经典说辞吗？(展开)

小說的主題是高官串通起來搞事情，沒有涉及艾斯特哈契的神秘提拔還有他與總參貳局尤其是統計處的可疑關係

反犹恶氛之下，体制内的颟顸自大、投机奸诈、偏执愚见和平庸之恶在守住既得利益的共识中沆瀣一气，颠倒是非，一手遮天、肆无忌惮、无中生有地构陷、诬蔑、迫害无辜或坚持正义之人——由此，无名鼠辈不值一提的低劣之举竟逐步升级为撕裂法国、震撼世界的德雷福斯事件。 作者最擅长的是描写掌权者暗中酝酿、影影绰绰而遽然爆发的阴谋；当然人物塑造也颇成功，不论角色大小都能通过细节让读者印象深刻。另外作者也熟稔于制造惊险桥段... 反犹恶氛之下，体制内的颟顸自大、投机奸诈、偏执愚见和平庸之恶在守住既得利益的共识中沆瀣一气，颠倒是非，一手遮天、肆无忌惮、无中生有地构陷、诬蔑、迫害无辜或坚持正义之人——由此，无名鼠辈不值一提的低劣之举竟逐步升级为撕裂法国、震撼世界的德雷福斯事件。 作者最擅长的是描写掌权者暗中酝酿、影影绰绰而遽然爆发的阴谋；当然人物塑造也颇成功，不论角色大小都能通过细节让读者印象深刻。另外作者也熟稔于制造惊险桥段的商业写作手法，不时让读者提神醒脑，但又不会过于夸张杜撰。 主人公皮卡尔既“普通”也不“普通”：他追寻真相坚持正义，但也手段灵活心有算计；他看似孤立，但亲友带来的人脉能为他保驾护航甚至助他荣升部长——总体上作者还是全面拔高其形象的。 另外本书也是本黄金年代的巴黎城市指南：皮卡尔上校带你逛花都🇫🇷 (展开)
