He is the author of Austerity Britain, 1945-51 and Family Britain 1951-57, the first two titles in a series of books covering the history of post-war Britain (1945-1979) under the collective title 'Tales of a New Jerusalem.'

Kynaston does' Sunday Times, Book of the Decade 'Kynaston's books ... feel like a breath of fresh air' Observer 'An absolute gem of a book' Guardian 'Kynaston writes brilliantly and readably' Independent on Sunday
