Published to mark a momentous civic occasion, Dublin Be Proud is a richly illustrated tribute to one of Europe's most storied capital cities, crafted in celebration of Dublin's Millennium Year of 1988. Pat Liddy — journalist, artist, and one of Dublin's most passionate chroniclers — presents a sweeping portrait of the city's layered heritage, from its Viking origins and Georgian grandeur to the vibrant street life and architectural splendour that define its enduring character. With an artist's eye and a historian's rigour, Liddy details the landmarks, lanes, and luminaries that have shaped Dublin across ten centuries of turbulent and triumphant history. Beyond a simple commemorative volume, this work stands as a love letter to a city in the act of rediscovering itself — a Dublin on the cusp of modern reinvention yet firmly anchored in a rich and complex past. Liddy's prose is warm and authoritative, his illustrations precise and evocative, combining to produce a document of genuine cultural significance. For anyone who has walked the cobblestones of the Liffey's banks or simply dreamed of doing so, this volume poses an irresistible question: how well do you truly know Dublin?
