Like Johan says, reenacting has been around for a while. However, the size, organization and the "attention to detail"( or historical accuracy-uniforms, equipment, tactics, etc.) is a fairly recent phenomenon. There are books out there that discuss reenacting in general and important dates in its evolution to its present state. Unfortunately, all the ones I know of are really "introduction to reenacting" books geared toward a new reenactor. They basically touch on the subject a little before going into depth as a "how to" guide to reenact. Still, if you just want dates those books can help you.
If you want something that deals in depth with the reasons for this growth from a sociology perspective, I'm afraid I can't help you.
