Biography & Memoir Book Club: The Black Count

For October, the Biography and Memoir Book Club will be reading and discussing the book The Black Count by Tom Reiss.   

Explore the life and career of Thomas Alexandre Dumas, a man almost unknown today, but whose swashbuckling exploits appear in The Three Musketeers and whose trials and triumphs inspired The Count of Monte Cristo by his son, novelist Alexandre Dumas. 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. (Amazon)
