The Black Count : Napoleon's Rival, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo - General Alexandre Dumas by Tom Reiss
$9.43
Description
Shows us that the inspiration for the swashbuckling stories was, in fact, Alex Dumas' own father, Alex - the son of a marquis and a black slave... He achieved a giddy ascent from private in the Dragoons to the rank of general; an outsider who had grown up among slaves, he was all for Liberty and Equality.
