|title=The Black Count: Glory, revolution, betrayal and the real Count of Monte Cristo
|author=Tom Reiss
|rating=5
|genre=History
|summary=While the novels of Alexandre Dumas, like ''The Three Musketeers'' and ''The Count of Monte Cristo'', weren't true, they were based on a real hero - Dumas's own father. Born the son of a slave and a French nobleman, General Alexandre Dumas would go on to rise to fame and fortune during the French Revolution, only to face racism, betrayal, and a rivalry with Napoleon Bonaparte which would eventually lead to the virtual disappearance from history of this incredible figure.
