Stephen Dando-Collins

Stephen Dando-Collins is the multi-award-winning author of 48 books, including biographies, works on ancient and modern history, and children's novels. Noted British playwright Robin Hawdon describes him as "the modern age's foremost dramatizer of Greek and Roman history," while bestselling American military author Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman has said he is "a literary giant." The majority of Dando-Collins's works deal with military history ranging from Greek, Persian and Roman times to American, British and Australian 19th century history and World War I and World War II. Many of his books have been translated into foreign languages including Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Albanian and Korean.. Considered an authority on the legions of ancient Rome, his 2010 book LEGIONS OF ROME has been called the definitive work on Rome's imperial legions, and was the culmination of decades of research into the individual legions. With all his books, 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. In 2024 he has two new releases, CAESAR VERSUS POMPEY, (Turner Publishing, US), and THE BUNA SHOTS: The Amazing Story Behind Two Photographs that Changed the Course of World War Two, (Australian Scholarly Publishing).
