Editorial Reviews
Review
'This is a classic; buy at least three copies - one for yourself and two to give to friends and family' John Charmley, Guardian 'The book is a marvel the fullest, deepest and most balanced history of our times' Sunday Telegraph 'What a treat we have in store *****' Craig Brown's Book of the Week, Mail on Sunday 'A wonderfully illuminating picture of the way we were' Roy Hattersley, The Times
Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph
Austerity Britain is a cracking read. The Attlee years have been
covered before, notably in scholarly political histories by Kenneth Morgan
and Peter Hennessy, but Kynaston's book is both more evocative and more
entertaining than both.
John Carey, Sunday Times
Even readers who can remember the years Kynaston writes about will
find they are continually surprised by the richness and diversity of his
material.
