Dublin: The Making of a Capital City by David Dickson - Definitive Harvard History - 736 Page Masterpiece

STOP SCROLLING. You just found the book every history lover in Chicago wishes they had. This is Dublin: The Making of a Capital City by David Dickson — the definitive, Harvard-published history that the Dublin City Archives themselves recommend. This is not a cheap guidebook. This is 1,400 years of pure inspiration. WHY THIS BOOK IS SO AWESOME YOU'LL WANT IT TODAY: It's an inspirational story of a city that refused to die. It started as a tiny Viking trading post on the quiet waters of the Irish Sea. It became the glamorous 'Naples of the North' in the 1700s, endured 120 years of Anglo-Irish Union where rival creeds fought for control, survived the Easter Rising of 1916 that started an empire's retreat, survived a bloody civil war, and rebuilt itself into the vibrant, modern Tiger Town of today. If you need motivation, read how Dublin did it. It's insanely educational. Written by David Dickson, Professor in Modern History at Trinity College Dublin. 736 pages of real history — social, economic, cultural, political, and architectural. You'll meet clergymen, merchants, land speculators, publishers, writers, rebels, and everyday Dubliners who shaped their city and shaped Ireland. You will understand Ireland better after this one book than after years of other reading. It's a great read you will not put down. The Los Angeles Review of Books said: "I thought I knew the history of my hometown, Dublin, and then I read David Dickson's wise and stylish book... teaching me things until almost the very last page." The Telegraph called it a monument to one of the world's great cities.
