A Brief History of Boston
By Derek Monaghan

From Puritan prayers to biotech breakthroughs, Boston has shaped the soul of a nation. In this vivid, cinematic journey through twenty defining chapters, author and narrator Derek Monaghan brings the city’s legacy to life—one rebellion, one invention, one heartbreak at a time.

Explore the Boston Massacre, the Tea Party, and Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Witness the rise of abolition, the Irish immigrant struggle, and the grandeur of the Back Bay. Relive the Great Molasses Flood, the triumphs of Fenway Park, and the resilience of Marathon Strong. From colonial cobblestones to cutting-edge innovation, this immersive narrative blends historical clarity with emotional resonance.

Whether you’re a lifelong Bostonian or a curious listener drawn to the spirit of revolution, A Brief History of Boston offers a compelling tribute to a city that remembers, reinvents, and reaches forward.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Historical nonfiction with cinematic storytelling
  • American history, urban evolution, and cultural legacy
  • Listeners of Erik Larson, David McCullough, and Doris Kearns Goodwin
