An amazing book, based on an even more amazing reality. The trials and dubious triumph of Edmund Dantes, the comradeship of the Four Musketeers, and much more in the writings of Alexandre Dumas, were based on the life of his father, a bi-racial commander in Napoleon's army. When you've finished the Count of Monte Cristo, read Tom Reiss's biography, The Black Count. https://vpl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/3135187038_the_black_count
