Xabier Irujo (Chair of the Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada, Reno) holds three Mas in linguistics, history and philosophy and two PhDs in history and philosophy. He has lectured and published on topics related to Basque history.

"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 ''Xabier Irujo has produced another in a string of fine studies examining the pious fictions and malevolent lies told about or perpetrated upon the Basques.'' - Michael Vargas, Speculum 98/4 October (2023)
