This is the story of Aubrey Hames who is one of the most unsung yet iconic figures in local Welsh 20th-century politics. Known as "Mr Newport", Aubrey was the opposite of a career politician who devoted his life to his constituents and to the town of Newport. This biography, written by Aubrey's son, is a moving account of a man who stays steady to his vision and preservers in service through false allegations, a devastating loss of income, and ill-health. A must-read for anyone interested in biography and the history of Wales, local politics in the UK, and the labour party as well as anyone interested in people's real lives lived and their dreams and motivations, disappointments and successes.
