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.^[8] It covers the period from 1951 to the Suez crisis of 1956.^[8] The volume was serialised on BBC Radio 4 as its Book of the Week for 23 November 2009, read by Dominic West.^[9]

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.
