      Book Title: "Spartacus”Author: Tony BradmanPublished By: A&C Black PublishersAge Recommended: 14+Reviewed By: Kitty BullardRaven Rating: 5Review: Spartacus by Tony Bradman is a short book, part of the “Lives In Action” series that tells you the story of Spartacus the rebellious Thracian gladiator and slave, and his fight against the Roman tyranny. Even though this book is short and a very fast read it highlights the most interesting parts of Spartacus’ life and the fight for freedom. I really enjoyed reading this book and learning the true story of the man who fought so hard for so many.
