Paperback. Condición: Fair. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER * NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A "richly imagined biography" (The New York Times Book Review) of General Alex Dumas, who rose from slavery to command vast armies in the French Revolutionary Wars--and whose exploits were immortalized in his son's novels The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers "Fascinating [and] entertaining."--The Wall Street Journal "Remarkable."--The Boston Globe "A truly amazing story."--NPR A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time, The New Republic, NPR, Salon, Essence 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 of more than 50,000 men at the height of the Revolution.

It is also a window into the modern world's first multiracial society and a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son. FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD.…
