Though decidedly quirky in its approach and interpretations, this book is an exceptionally lively, generous, intelligent, wide-ranging and well-informed tribute to a much maligned but formidable lineage of historians. 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.
