Description
A History of the GAA in 100 Objects by Siobhán Doyle explores the Gaelic Athletic Association through a unique lens - its objects. From a fifteenth-century horsehair sliotar to a tweed camogie dress, this book brings together a range of items from every county in Ireland and overseas to tell the story of the GAA's history. The result is a chronological narrative that also functions as a social history of those involved with the association. The objects on display offer a glimpse into the people and events that have shaped the GAA over time, making for a fascinating read. With 232 pages of content, this hardcover book provides an in-depth look at the GAA's significance in Irish society, extending far beyond its sporting aspects.
