Nikos Psyroukis (Greeκ:Νίκος Ψυρούκης; 1926 - 6 July 2003) was a Greek writer, journalist and one of the leading modern Greek Marxist historians.[1]
He was born in Ismailia in Egypt and studied at Charles University, Czechoslovakia. In 1956 he defended his doctoral thesis on the "Asia Minor Disaster". He moved to Greece in 1961 where he worked for the newspaper "Naftergatiki-Naftemporiki" and the magazine "Istoriki Epitheorisi". In 1967, during the Greek military junta, he and his wife were exiled to Gioura island.
