X-WR-CALDESC:True Story Book Club\n\nThe Black Count: Glory\, Revolution\, 
 Betrayal\, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo by Tom Reiss (432 p.)\n\nGen
 eral Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today\, yet his story is strikingl
 y familiar—because his son\, the novelist Alexandre Dumas\, used his large
 r-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte C
 risto and The Three Musketeers.\n\nBut\, hidden behind General Dumas's swa
 shbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son o
 f a black slave—who rose higher in the white world than any man of his rac
 e would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti)\, Alex Dum
 as made his way to Paris\, where he rose to command armies at the height o
 f the Revolution—until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat.\n\n
 The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story\, a lushly te
 xtured evocation of 18th-century France\, and a window into the modern wor
 ld’s first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count 'one
  of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that shed
 s light on the historical moment that made it possible.' But it is also a 
 heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son
 .  \n
