False Evidence
Produced by Al Haines
"False Evidence" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Herbert Devereux, a young officer who finds himself embroiled in a court-martial for cowardice, accused by his half-brother Rupert Devereux, leading to a deep exploration of themes such as honor, betrayal, and the quest for redemption. The opening chapters set a dramatic tone as Herbert struggles against the weight of false accusations while desperately seeking to clear his name and reconcile with his father. The beginning of "False Evidence" immerses the reader in the aftermath of a brutal battle, highlighting the stark contrast between the perception of victory and the brutal reality of loss. Herbert is accused of cowardice during the fighting, and the tension escalates as Rupert, his half-brother, refuses to defend him, instead turning the charges into a tool for his own ambition. This confrontation leads to Herbert’s emotional turmoil, presenting a young man torn between despair and determination as he grapples with the injustice inflicted upon him and the consequences that follow. The narrative quickly establishes a foundation of familial conflict and personal honor that drives the story forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
