Description
David Kynaston's "Austerity Britain 1945-51", the first book in his series "Tales of a New Jerusalem", was a major "Sunday Times" bestseller in 2007.
Here is the first volume from this landmark book covering 1945-48.
Beginning his groundbreaking series about post-war Britain, Kynaston presents our nation through the eyes of those who lived there.
Meet Judy Haines, a Chingford housewife, struggling daily with food rationing; Henry St.
John, a self-serving civil servant in Bristol; and, the young Glenda Jackson, taking her 11-plus.
Using mass observation, diaries, letters, newspapers and magazines from the time, "A World to Build" is an unsurpassed social history: intensely evocative to those who were there and eye-opening for their children and grandchildren.
