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]
