Historically very little is known about Spartacus. We know that he came from Thrace, a land north of Greece, that he once fought in the Roman legions & that, during two fateful years, he led a slave army which nearly brought Rome to its knees. In Ben Kane's brilliant novel, we meet Spartacus as he returns to Thrace, ready to settle down after a decade away. But a new king has usurped the throne. Treacherous & violent, he immediately seizes Spartacus & sells him to a Roman slave trader looking for new gladiators. The odyssey has begun which will see Spartacus become one of the greatest legends of history, the hero of revolutionaries from Karl Marx to Che Guevara, immortalised on screen, & now brought to life in Ben Kane's great bestseller
- a novel which takes the story to its halfway point & is continued in Spartacus: Rebellion. The size of this book is 19.6cm in height & 12.8cm wide & has 515 pages.

Written at a critical juncture in the history of the Labour Party, Speak for Britain! is a thought-provoking & highly original interpretation of the party's evolution, from its trade union origins to its status as a national governing party. It charts Labour's rise to power by re-examining the impact of the First World War, the general strike of 1926, Labour's breakthrough at the 1945 general election, the influence of post-war affluence & consumerism on the fortunes & character of the party, & its revival after the defeats of the Thatcher era. Controversially, Pugh argues that Labour never entirely succeeded in becoming 'the party of the working class'; many of its influential recruits
- from Oswald Mosley to Hugh Gaitskell to Tony Blair
- were from middle & upper-class Conservative backgrounds & rather than converting the working class to socialism, Labour adapted itself to local & regional political cultures.
