The Hammer and Thistle
The autobiography of Charles A. Doyle

In 1953, Charlie A. Doyle was deported from the USA, charged with posing a threat to the security of the United States Government.

 

He settled in London and became a Shop Steward for the Electrical Trades Union at Battersea Power Station. During a Work-to-Rule dispute over wages he was branded 'The Most Hated Man in Britain' by the Daily Mirror newspaper.
