His early work in labour history included The First Shop Stewards' Movement (1973) and Labour and Socialism (1983).

Turning his attention tothe 1940s, he published two monographs on contrasting groups of active citizens: Shop Floor Citizens: Engineering Democracy in 1940s Britain (1994); Women, Social Leadership, and the Second World War (2002). Since retiring in 2004 he has worked on Mass Observation, publishing Nine Wartime Lives: Mass-Observation and the Makingof the Modern Self (2010) and The Mass Observers: A History, 1937-1949 (2013).
