A Little History of Dublin by Trevor White
1000 years of history in about 200 pages. Trevor White speeds through history to give an overview of Ireland's Capital. From the Celts and Vikings to today's burgeoning tech masters, it is all covered with brevity and wit. More coverage is given to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, but every age gets a shot. It's kind of witty, as well. At one point, he refers to philosopher Homer Simpson never clarifying that it is the father from the Simpsons TV show.
The book did help me frame the important events of Dublin History and give a me a broad perspective of the history of the city. But it doesn't dive in deep. There is also a nice addendum to the book that talks about the famous writers from Dublin.
Trevor White founded and runs the Little Museum of Dublin and we me him on our most recent visit to the city.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
