A short summary of the book The Black Count:
The heroic life of General Alexandre Dumas, the original Count of Monte Cristo.
My favorite Tom Reiss Quote from the book:
"To remember a person is the most important thing."
Questions I pondered while reading the book:
How do people like this get omitted from the history books?
Was it possible to survive the French Revolution as a government employee?
My review of the book The Black Count:
Now we know who inspired the character Dartagan.
History is written by political survivors.
Shame on Napoleon.
