Tales of a New Jerusalem
In 2007 Kynaston published Austerity Britain, 1945–1951 to much acclaim.[5] The title consists of two books that together make the first volume in a projected series of six entitled Tales of a New Jerusalem. In this series Kynaston intends to chronicle the history of Great Britain from the end of World War II to the ascension of Margaret Thatcher in 1979.[6] Austerity Britain was named "Book of the Decade" by The Sunday Times.[7]
Family Britain (2010) is the second volume in the series, and was also released as two books.
The third volume, Modernity Britain, covering the years 1957–62, was published as two books in June 2013[10][11] and 2014.
The first book of the fourth volume, A Northern Wind, covering the years 1962-65, was published in September 2023.
