His books include Blood, Sweat, and Toil: Remaking the British Working Class, 1939–1945 (2012), cited as “an essential text about Britain during the war” by the Journal of British Studies, and  Evangelist of Race: The Germanic Vision of Houston Stewart Chamberlain (1981), which won the Anisfield-Wolf Award for the best book on race relations in any discipline and an Outstanding Book of the Year Award from Choice.
