    Not all questions are in scope, and this one might get closed for being about individual Jews while this site is focused on Judaism. If that is the case, please don't be upset and come back to learn with us

  • @Joe Bernstein Consult Jewish Encyclopedia online. Also Encyclopaedia Brittanica , which mentions the recent discovery of letters he wrote to his lieutenants.

A classic book on Bar Kochba is from famous Israeli archeologist Yigael Yadin:

Bar-Kokhba; the rediscovery of the legendary hero of the last Jewish revolt against Imperial Rome

but I also know of The Bar Kokhba War AD 132–135.

Note Wiki's entry on Bar Kochba and his revolt mention other relevant works.

Talmud Yerushalmi , Taanit 4:5 (24a) and Midrash Rabba (Lamentations Rabba 2:5).

A link that I found https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joseph_Geiger/publication/310512261_The_Bar-Kokhba_revolt_The_Greek_point_of_view/links/5c0fc0fba6fdcc494fec0241/The-Bar-Kokhba-revolt-The-Greek-point-of-view.pdf?origin=publication_detail.
