I heartily recommend The Black Count, the story of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas: the first person of color in the French military to become brigadier general, the first to become divisional general, and the first to become general-in-chief of a French army. His son Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers) went on to become one of France's most widely read authors of all time.
