Heffo - A Brilliant Mind
Kevin Heffernan was a giant amongst GAA men. A giant with a brilliant mind who repeatedly warned everybody that he would not let his own mother get in the way of him winning one more game of football. Heffo was deeply admired and absolutely feared like no other. And like no other manager in the history of the GAA, his strength of mind and brutal toughness as a leader raised an army that was called his own – Heffo’s Army. Heffo: A Brilliant Mind tells the Kevin Heffernan story for the first time. It’s the story of a boy with the biggest dreams, and a man who lived with triumphs and the greatest regrets. It’s the story of a club, and how Heffo and St Vincent’s GAA club revolutionized the game of Gaelic football and changed the face of Dublin football forever. It’s the story, too, of a great war. Heffo: A Brilliant Mind dramatically re-enacts the battles that Kevin Heffernan fought over four decades as a footballer and a manager in a long and punishing war with Kerry. A war waged by one man with the courage and fearlessness of a true giant.

A History of Oakland
Tucked away in the northwestern corner of Bergen County, Oakland was for years a peacefully undiscovered outpost. Yet as Kevin Heffernan chronicles in A History of Oakland, the town's placid, easygoing character belies a fascinating and deeply engrossing history. From the interactions between the earliest Dutch settlers and the area's Lenape Indians, to the surprising pro-slavery attitudes of mid-nineteenth-century northern New Jersey, to the radical--and, to some, wrenching--changes wrought by late twentieth-century commercial development, Heffernan provides a definitive account of the life and times of this once-sleepy town.

Heffo - A Brilliant Mind
Widely regarded as one of the best Gaelic soccer players of all time, Kevin Heffernan captained the All-Ireland winning Dublin team of 1958. At club level, he won an incredible fifteen county soccer medals and six county hurling medals with St. Vincents. But it was as manager of the Dublin soccer team in the 1970s and into the 1980s—a decade marked by an intense rivalry between Dublin and Kerry—that he became an iconic figure. Success in this period drew huge levels of support to the Dublin team and the phenomenon of "Heffo’s Army" was born. This first major biography will present Heffo the man in all his genius and his brilliance. But it will also be a full and honest account of his approach to management and to his players, presenting the many different dimensions to his character—taciturn, focused, and ruthless in pursuit of his ambitions for Dublin soccer. Heffo – A Brilliant Mind draws on stories and anecdotes from those who knew him well over the course of a lifetime devoted to Gaelic games and provides a unique insight into a monumental figure in Irish sport.

Oakland
The conductor announces Oakland Station resort, and the passenger cars quickly empty. It is summer in the late 1800s, and travelers from New York City and Paterson are eager to begin their vacations. They have come to enjoy a mountainous place of pristine beauty, cooled by a river, ponds, and springs. After two and a half centuries as a sleepy farming community within sight of New York City, Oakland had become a summer resort with its own railroad station and grand Victorian hotels. First settled nearly a century before the American Revolution by ten Dutch families, this Ramapo Mountain community has a rich heritage that includes the founding of the Ponds Dutch Reformed Church in 1710, George Washington's visit to the Van Allen House in 1777, and the establishment of the borough of Oakland in 1902.
