About this listen
From Indigenous roots to Olympic glory, A Brief History of Atlanta traces the dramatic evolution of one of America’s most resilient cities. Derek Monaghan delivers a cinematic, multi-chapter narrative that blends historical clarity with emotional resonance—capturing Atlanta’s rise from a railroad terminus to a global cultural powerhouse.
Spanning fifteen chapters and three centuries, this immersive account explores:
- The legacy of Creek and Cherokee stewardship
- The city’s destruction during the Civil War—and its rebirth
- Black excellence through education, enterprise, and activism
- Atlanta’s role in the Civil Rights Movement and modern protest culture
- The rise of hip-hop, media empires, and global influence
- Political milestones, urban sprawl, and the fight for equity
- Innovation, resilience, and the city’s vision for the future
Whether you’re a student, traveler, or lifelong Atlantan, this audiobook offers a vivid portrait of a city that refuses to be defined by its past—only inspired by it.
