"""The Basque perspective is largely unaddressed in studies of Charlemagne and the infamous battle at Rencesvals/Errozabal during which the great emperor’s rearguard suffered a catastrophic defeat. Xabier Irujo’s book not only addresses that lack but puts forward a series of compelling arguments as to why the Basque involvement has not received more in-depth study. As such, this book provides an interesting example of how reading absence in the archive can yield fruitful and transformative perspectives."" - Geneviève Young, Medium Aevum, 91.1"
