The GAA: A People's History by Paul Rouse, Mark Duncan, Mike Cronin
slow-paced
4.0
It took me a while to read this book both because I prioritize fiction and because it has so many sidebars and images with captions that for me it was slow-going. I'm not complaining about these -- they were good -- but it was oddly tiring to read and I generally read just a small handful of chapters at a time with sometimes long breaks between bouts of reading.
I thought it was a fantastic history of the GAA, and I learned a lot about the history of Ireland and of Gaelic sports. I've played hurling for a few years, so this was of particular interest to me. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the history and culture of the GAA and Gaelic Games in Ireland (and abroad).
