Henry MacAdam earned a BA and MA in Ancient History/Archaeology from the American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon, and a PhD in those disciplines at the University of Manchester, UK. He taught at the American University of Beirut, in Greece, and in the USA. He has published several books and 100 articles in the field of ancient studies, children's literature, Christian origins, biography, Phoenician history and geography, and Near Eastern epigraphy, since the 1970s. Arthur Koestler's "The Gladiators" (1939) has been a special subject of interest for the past 15 years. His most recent publication is "The Gladiators vs Spartacus: Dueling Productions in Blacklist Hollywood" (2020). Its focus is the failed attempt, during the late 1950s, to film Koestler's novel about ancient Rome and the Spartacus Revolt. Interest in Edith Simon, who translated "Der Sklavenkrieg" for Koestler, led to the recent discovery of correspondence between them during that process.
