Lost Gaels: Family Testimonies of Members of the GAA Killed During the Conflict in Ireland
€ 29.99
ISBN: 9781785375354
During the conflict in the North of Ireland, the Gaelic Athletic Association became the object of animosity from both loalist paramilitaries and Crown forces. Those seen wearing club colours and carrying Gaelic equipment were subject to harassment, fans were stopped and searched on their way to and from games, GAA clubhouses were attacked by loyalists, and pitches were occupied by British forces. Over 150 men, women and children who had close links with the GAA would pay the ulitmate price during the conflict.
Lost Gaels is the first comprehensive account of the lives of ninety-two of those Gaels who lost their lives over four decades from the memories of their families and friends.
Illustrated in full colour, this seminal work celebrates the deep connection between the GAA and the everyday lives of these victims, as well as the important part played by the GAA community in supporting the bereaved, resulting in a poignant and powerful tribute to the lives of those lost.
