"The slaves of Rome are launching a revolt against their cruel Roman masters and there is only one man capable of leading them into battle. His name is Spartacus. A former gladiator and a born leader, he inspires fierce loyalty in his men and strikes terror into the hearts of his enemies. As he and his army of slaves advance on Rome, they will have to fight battle after battle, each one more brutal than the last. Whether they win or lose, Spartacus and his men will shake Rome to its very foundations."--Back cover.
