In English I still think that the Shadrake book is still the best, I neither liked Dunkle nor Nossov as much as Shadrake. Nossov had some little information on gladiators in the East which were not mentioned elsewhere but that was it.
I just purchased during my vacation in Spain a book in Spanish though, which just came out this year. It's called:
"Gladiadores - El gran espectáculo de Roma"
by Alfonso Manas
Of course I immediately started reading it and it seems to be very interesting though concerning the nomenclature and description of the armaturae he has some strange theories. I will keep you informed...
