À propos de cet audio

American democracy. In this vivid and immersive narrative, author Derek Monaghan traces the city’s journey across ten pivotal chapters—uncovering the people, protests, monuments, and contradictions that shaped the capital.

Explore the Indigenous roots of the Potomac region, the fiery trials of war and reconstruction, and the monumental ambitions of the Gilded Age. Witness the city’s role in civil rights, scandal, and protest, and discover the cultural capitals within its borders—from Howard University to the Smithsonian, from jazz to go-go.

With cinematic prose and historical precision, Monaghan brings to life the city’s enduring quest for representation, resilience in the face of terror, and its unfinished dream of statehood. This is not just a history of buildings and laws—it’s a story of voices, vision, and transformation.

Whether you’re a student of history, a lover of cities, or a seeker of truth, A Brief History of Washington D.C. offers a powerful lens into the soul of a city that defines a nation.
