The GAA by Mike Cronin
This history of Gaelic games and the social world around them has been an outstanding success. From how and where Gaelic games were played and watched to their impact on Irish communities at home and abroad, politics, women in the GAA, music and much more, this history sets the GAA experience against that of a changing Irish society. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and original historical documents, this is a book with absorbing insights into a world that is both uniquely Irish and global.Mike Cronin, academic director of Boston College - Ireland, has written widely on Ireland's history, including The Blueshirts and Irish Politics (1997) and Sport and Nationalism in Ireland (1999). Mark Duncan, was central in establishing the GAA Museum. He works on research projects in Ireland for public and corporate bodies. Paul Rouse has written extensively on the GAA and teaches history at UCD. The GAA - A People's History (2009) was their first jointly authored book, followed by a companion volume, The GAA - County By County (2011).
