'After the massacre, the GAA became even more important to us as a real sense of identity. It's difficult to explain but we could cling to it in a sense, and say this is ours, this is us.' - Clare Rogan, wife of Adrian Rogan, killed by the UVF in the 1994 Loughinisland massacre. The GAA has long been at the heart of Irish life, nurturing our culture and communities and fostering powerful social bonds. However, as sectarian conflict intensified in the North, the GAA became the object of animosity and surveillance by loyalist paramilitaries and Crown forces. Clubhouses and pitches were occupied by British forces, fans were security checked and harassed on their way to and from games, and over 150 members were killed. Lost Gaels is the first comprehensive account of the devastating impact of the Troubles on the GAA, providing a platform for bereaved family and friends to pay homage to their lost loved ones. Capturing the deep connection between the GAA and the everyday lives of Irish people, this is a poignant and powerful tribute to the lives of lost Gaels.

Chasing Baseball is a book that provides a snapshot of grassroots baseball in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. Played as it is in the rain and cold, on temporary diamonds that are sometimes less than ideal, baseball is still fragile in these places and an enormous group effort is needed to sustain it. The book is the story of people who love the game, the story of people who believe that baseball can flourish where it's been planted, developing according to the idiosyncrasies of each location.On one hand, baseball is baseball, and what is depicted--despite some idiosyncratic rules and an incredibly wide range of talent and experience--is not dissimilar to what one might see in North America. On the other hand, it feels different. More precarious, yes, but also more communal. This is baseball played for its own sake, played in public parks by people who have somehow fallen in love with the game or are searching for a piece of home.Written in the tradition of Dave Bidini's Tropic of Hockey: My Search for the Game in Unlikely Places, Chasing Baseball provides readers with a vivid picture of baseball as it is played in these places.
