This remarkable book by Cathal Billings and Paul Rouse explores the importance of sport in the Irish Revolution. The first three decades of the twentieth century brought profound political, economic, social and cultural change in Ireland. These transformations reshaped Irish sporting life while sport itself became one of the forces influencing the new society that emerged. An spórt agus an réabhlóid in Éirinn, 1912–25 is a history of the love of play, but also an examination of what happens to sport and to sportspeople in a time of war.
Is é atá sa leabhar suaithinseach seo le Cathal Billings agus Paul Rouse ná cuntas ar a thábhachtaí a bhí an spórt mar chuid den réabhlóid in Éirinn. Tháinig athrú ollmhór ar shaol polaitiúil, eacnamaíoch, sóisialta agus cultúrtha na hÉireann sa tríocha bliain tosaigh den fhichiú haois. Chlaochlaigh an spórt dá bharr sin, ach san am céanna, bhí an spórt féin ar na fórsaí a mhúnlaigh an tsochaí nua a bhí ag teacht chun cinn. Is é an grá ar an spórt is ábhar don leabhar seo, An sport agus an réabhlóid in Éirinn, 1912-25, ach tá léargas ann freisin ar an éabhlóid a thagann ar an spórt agus ar lucht spóirt in aimsir chogaidh.
