Stephen Dando-Collins is the multi-award-winning author of 47 books. British reviewer, noted playwright Robin Hawdon, says that Dando-Collins is "the modern age's foremost dramatizer of Greek and Roman history," while American reviewer bestselling military author Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman has described Dando-Collins as "a literary giant." Considered an authority on the legions of ancient Rome, Dando-Collins has written ancient and modern history, children's novels, scientific nonfiction, and biographies. The bulk of his works deal with military history, ranging from Greek, Persian and Roman times to American, British and Australian 19th century history and World I and Word War II. Many of his books have been translated into foreign languages including Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Russian, Albanian and Korean. His most acclaimed book on the ancient military, 'LEGIONS OF ROME,' was the culmination of decades of research into Rome's imperial legions. Dando-Collins aims to travel roads that others have not, unearthing new facts and opening new perspectives on often forgotten or overlooked people and aspects of history. 2023 sees two new Dando-Collins nonfiction books published by Turner. The first is 'REBELS AGAINST ROME: 400 Years of Rebellion Against the Rule of Rome,' (January US, March UK). This is to be followed by 'SEVEN AGAINST THEBES: The Quest of the Original Magnificent Seven,' (September US, November UK), which Cambridge University's Professor Paul Cartledge has described as "Stephen Dando-Collins' mythographical extravaganza."
