Evi Gkotzaridis is a historian whose work focuses on 20th century Irish and Greek history.^[1] Her critically acclaimed^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] book Trials of Irish History gave the first detailed analysis of the revisionist debate in Ireland.^[1] She has also authored a book called A Pacifist's Life and Death, the first historical biography detailing the life, time and achievements of Grigorios Lambrakis. Lambrakis was an athletic champion, doctor and politician.^[10]^[11]

Scholarly reviews of Trials of Irish History were positive overall with occasional criticism of her writing style.^[2] Matthew Kelly described her book as "underpinned by a remarkable historical intelligence".^[2] Bill Kissane of the London School of Economics said the book "defends the revisionists".^[3] Brian Girvin of the University of Glasgow wrote that it was a "stimulating book on the Irish revisionist debate."^[4] David Fitzpatrick of Trinity College in Dublin described it as "quirky" but was "an exceptionally lively, generous, intelligent, wide-ranging and well-informed tribute to a much maligned but formidable lineage of historians."^[5] Martyn Powell described it as "anti-nationalistic" in tone.^[9]

By making Irish revisionism interesting, it does what I had thought impossible. One awaits with interest the response of the post-revisionists whom Gkotzaridis has so deftly wrong-footed.
