“A triumph! At first blush, it might be easy to think this story has been told. But the story that’s told is incomplete. Too often, Pompey the Great stands in the shadows of Julius Caesar. In Caesar Versus Pompey, Stephen Dando-Collins invites Pompey to step out of the shadows and stand in the light, shoulder to shoulder with Caesar. The story of these two titans is dramatic, full of twists and turns, partnerships and betrayals. Without one, there is no other. ""By telling the story of Pompey and Caesar in the way that only he can, Dando-Collins fills in an important gap in the dramatic events that culminated in the collapse of the Roman Republic. Pompey and Caesar needed each other, and any student or fan of Roman history needs this important book.” —Phillip Barlag, author of Evil Roman Emperors, and host of The Greats of History podcast
