Who was Rome’s greatest general, statesman, and nation-builder: Caesar or Pompey?

Few people have had as many words written about them down through the centuries as Julius Caesar—the brilliant general who made Queen Cleopatra of Egypt his mistress. He has captured the imagination of playwrights, historians, soldiers, and emperors.

Little has been written about his ally, son-in-law, and eventual enemy Pompey the Great, who crashed onto the Roman scene as a victorious twenty-three-year-old general and who, at the height of his career, was arguably more famous, more popular, and more successful than Caesar.

Caesar Versus Pompey tells the parallel life stories of Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, as their lives and loves became intertwined and interdependent, as they grew from rivals to partners, then from joint rulers to warring foes. One strove to preserve the Roman Republic, the other destroyed it.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“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

Stephen Dando-Collins is the multi-award-winning author of 47 books, including biographies, works on ancient and modern history, and children's novels. British reviewer, noted playwright Robin Hawdon, calls him as "the modern age's foremost dramatizer of Greek and Roman history," while American reviewer bestselling military author Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman has described him as "a literary giant." The majority of Dando-Collins's works deal with military history ranging from Greek, Persian and Roman times to American, British and Australian 19th century history and World War I and World War II. Many of his books have been translated into foreign languages including Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Albanian and Korean.. Considered an authority on the legions of ancient Rome, his 2010 book LEGIONS OF ROME has been called the definitive work on Rome's imperial legions, and was the culmination of decades of research into the individual legions. With all his books, Dando-Collins aims to travel roads that others have not, unearthing new facts and opening new perspectives on often forgotten or overlooked people and aspects of history. In 2023 he has two new releases, 'REBELS AGAINST ROME: 400 Years of Rebellions Against the Rule of Rome,' (January, Turner Publishing),,and the already highly acclaimed 'SEVEN AGAINST THEBES: The Quest of the Original Magnificent Seven,' (September, Turner Publishing.)
