Ancient Rome's hunger for conquest was matched only by its hunger for combat--"especially in the form of its brutal gladiator contests. But in 73 BC, Spartacus, a slave and gladiator, led a revolt against the Romans that shook the empire to its root. In time, about 90,000 men--"mostly runaway slaves--"joined Spartacus's rebellion, waging often-successful--"yet ultimately futile--"battles against the Roman army. This colorful, dynamic biography will have readers marveling at the life of Spartacus, ancient freedom fighter.
