Stephen Dando-Collins

Stephen Dando-Collins won the Silver Award for Biography in the 2020 Indie Awards in the US for CYRUS THE GREAT. He is the multi-award-winning author of 45 books. Considered an authority on the legions of ancient Rome, his work covers ancient and modern history, children's novels, scientific nonfiction, and biographies, with the bulk of his works dealing 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, 2010's 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 aspects of history.
In 2021 he has two new nonfiction books on Roman history published in the US and UK by Turner Publishing - CONQUERING JERUSALEM: The Roman Campaign to Crush the AD 66-73 Jewish Revolt, and CONSTANTINE AT THE BRIDGE: How the Battle of the Milvian Bridge Created Christian Rome.
Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, bestselling author of On Combat and On Killing, describes Dando-Collins as "a Cornelius Ryan (A Bridge Too Far), a Stephen Ambrose (Band of Brothers), for a new generation."
