Reports that the German military attaché, Lieutenant Colonel Maximilien von Schwarzkoppen,

had begun an erotic affair with Major Alessandro Panizzardi, the Italian military attaché—it was not called the gay nineties for nothing—and that they wrote to each other in an allusive and sinister-sounding private code. One of their letters, stolen from a second source, included a reference to someone whom Schwarzkoppen called “this scoundrel of a D.,” and who had offered “plans of Nice”—though the whole thing may have been a bantering reference to another lover. (The letter ends, to give a taste of the whole, “Don’t exhaust yourself with too much buggery.”) Source: http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2009/09/28/090928crbo_books_gopnik#ixzz2Mra1wZtH

Gross says that the author's

explorations beyond the courtroom yield even more engrossing results. There is the extraordinary correspondence between Maximilien von Schwarzkoppen, the German military attache in Paris, and his Italian opposite number, Alessandro Panizzardi, who were given to addressing each other as Maximilienne and Alexandrine.
