Publisher's Synopsis
Aubrey Hames was one of the most iconic figures in the Welsh town of Newport in the decades following the second world war. He was a man of his time - someone who had experienced first-hand the difficulties of poverty and the horrors of conflict - and someone who had a true passion for improving the lives of his fellow human beings. The opposite of a career politician, Aubrey Hames was someone who served his entire political career in his local constituency - continuing to fight for improvement even when suffering at the hands of police corruption, false accusations, and a subsequent loss of income. A moving account of a man's lifelong campaign for justice and a fascinating glimpse into the political world of the time.
