WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • ONE OF
ESQUIRE
’S BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME
General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar

because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as
The Count of Monte Cristo
and
The Three Musketeers
.
But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave
who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution
until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat.
The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society.
TIME
magazine called
The Black Count
"one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds 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.
