The history of AA as it was begun in Akron and spread throughout the world may primarily be found in three books published by AA World Services, Inc: AA Comes of Age (© 1957, 1985), Dr Bob and the Good Oldtimers (© 1980) and Pass It On (© 1984).
We urge all AAs and others interested in the history of Alcoholics Anonymous to read the three volumes mentioned above. We fervently believe that it is only by understanding our history, especially the origins of our Steps, Traditions and Concepts for World Service, that we will be able to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
