Reviews
"Excellent. . . . Like Belfast, [Cochrane's] book is a complex and energetic success."--Crawford Gribben, Wall Street Journal "To read Feargal Cochrane's wide-ranging account of the city, therefore, is to ricochet pleasurably between recognition and surprise."--Jenny McCartney, The Spectator "A wonderfully crafted narrative history of Belfast. Feargal Cochrane has managed to convey a sense of history and hope within this book."-- Belfast Telegraph Named a Best Nonfiction Book of 2023 by Marginal Revolution (blog) " Belfast tells the rich and complex history of the city, the qualities of which are often overlooked amid a focus on sectarianism and violence."--John Manley, The Irish News "A wonderful book on this most underrated city, the best overall general introduction to Belfast."--Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution (blog) "Feargal Cochrane has produced a masterful love-letter to his home city of Belfast. He delves beyond sectarian division and international stereotypes, to reveal the real heart of a city that is steeped in cultural creativity, intellectual advancement, architectural innovation and economic progress. Reflecting his very personal journey, as someone who grew up in the shadow of Harland and Wolff, Cochrane brings to life the magic of Belfast, against a dark and troubled backdrop. This work is a heartfelt and thorough testament to the fact that Belfast is more than the violence which has taken place within. An exciting and inspirational read which made me fall in love again with my home city."--Marisa McGlinchey, author of Unfinished Business "Feargal Cochrane with his wry, relaxed narrative style, tells the intriguing story of Belfast's fascinating, contradictory and conflict-ridden history. It is still a long haul to that new Belfast, with the vexed question of Partition still to be addressed in a future referendum. But in this book there is more than a vague hope that Belfast can be the intellectual and cultural powerhouse that drives respectful, democratic debate and guides a love-filled future."--Mary McAleese, president of Ireland, 1997-2011 "Cochrane has produced a fine piece of work. His book reaches back to a personal, social and political history of Belfast but also looks around and ahead to encapsulate the rich cultural heritage and the hopes and dreams of the city."--Joanne Murphy, author of Management and War

Synopsis
Feargal Cochrane tells the story of his hometown, from its former linen mills and famed shipyards to today's poetic renaissance. The city of Belfast is shaped by its vibrant traditions of radicalism, industry and cultural achievement, a rich and complex history not solely defined by the violence of the Troubles. At once a personal account and a refreshing long view, Belfast offers a vital and much-needed new perspective on a beautiful city., A lively and inviting history of Belfast--exploring the highs and lows of a resilient city Modern Belfast is a beautiful city with a vibrant tradition of radicalism, industry, architectural innovation, and cultural achievement. But the city's many qualities are all too frequently overlooked, its image marred by association with the political violence of the Troubles. Feargal Cochrane tells the story of his home city, revealing a rich and complex history which is not solely defined by these conflicts. From its emergence as a maritime port to its heyday as a center for the linen industry and crucible of liberal radicalism in the late eighteenth century, through to the famous shipyards where the Titanic was built, Belfast has long been a hub of innovation. Cochrane's book offers a new perspective on this fascinating story, demonstrating how religion, culture, and politics have shaped the way people think, act, and vote in the city--and how Belfast's past continues to shape its present and future.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
