Hurling: The Revolution Years by Denis Walsh (25-May-2006) Paperback

by Denis Walsh

After Clare's breakthrough in the mid-1990s, Hurling entered an era of unprecedented excitement and unpredictability, with new teams emerging to challenge the old powers. " The Revolution Years" tells the untold stories of this extraordinary period. Denis Walsh gets behind the scenes in Ger Loughnane's Clare and Liam Griffin's Wexford and explores the mentality that made Offaly so different. He has conducted thirty-five original interviews including frank conversations with legends like D.J. Carey and Anthony Daly that evoke this period in thrilling detail and shed fresh light on the dramas that shook the hurling world, on and off the field. If you thought you already knew the story of hurling's revolution, think again.

[Patrick Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for hurling fans it wells the story of the 1990s.

[Thomas · Rating 3 out of 5]

As someone who has only watched a bit of hurling this was a difficult book to get into - the writing was excellent, with some lovely turns of phrase.
But my lack of background knowledge made it difficult to stay engaged with the book at times. Because I did not know or understand the context it was hard to keep up with the events.
