Description

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.
