Synopsis

Originally self-published due to author Howard Fast's blacklisting, this historical novel tells the story of Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who rose from slavery to lead a massive revolt against the Roman Republic. Despite facing overwhelming odds and brutal suppression, his rebellion became a legendary symbol of resistance. Now back in print, this classic work explores themes of freedom, oppression, and the enduring human spirit.
