Crown The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo, by Tom Reiss

The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo</em>, by Tom Reiss" src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/vader-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/1669816964-51ewWNrkjEL._SL500_.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*" width="336" height="500">

You’re probably familiar with The Count of Monte Cristo, the 1844 revenge novel by Alexandre Dumas. But did you know it was based on the life of Dumas’s father, the mixed-race General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, son of a French nobleman and a Haitian slave? Thanks to Reiss’s masterful pacing and plotting, this rip-roaring biography of Thomas-Alexandre reads more like an adventure novel than a work of nonfiction. The Black Count won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 2013, and it’s only a matter of time before a filmmaker turns it into a big-screen blockbuster.
