This book tells the rich and multifaceted story of how the GAA - a major sporting and national body - both influenced and was influenced by the upheaval of Irish society in the decade between 1913 and 1923. It examines the effect of the First World War, the 1916 Rising and its aftermath, the emergence of Sinn Fin, as well as the War of Independence (1919-21) and the bitter Civil War (1922-23). This is an original and engrossing perspective through the lens of a sporting organization. ""An original and engrossing perspective through the lens of a sporting organization.""--Irish Gazette
