Douglas Arnold Hyde (8 April 1911, Worthing, Sussex — 19 September 1996, Kingston upon Thames) was an English political journalist and writer. A Communist, he was the news editor of the ''Daily Worker'' until 1948, when he converted to Catholicism and resigned. Hyde grew up in Bristol and was brought up as a Methodist. In his youth he was active in a number of political organisations which brought him into contact with Communists. He became a Methodist lay preacher and continued this work for some time in parallel with membership of the Communist party.〔Hyde ''I Believed''; chapters 1-4〕 He was an early convert to Communism, at age 17 in 1928. He was once jailed for two years in south-east Asia while trying to agitate for Communist reforms. After a period working in North Wales he moved to London in 1938 and became the news editor of the ''Daily Worker''.〔Hyde ''I Believed''; chapters 5-7〕 After his resignation, he published an autobiography, ''I Believed. The Autobiography of a Former British Communist''.〔Kevin Morgan. ("Obituary: Douglas Hyde" ), ''The Independent'', London, 29 September 1996〕 He also wrote a book, ''Dedication and Leadership'', about his experiences and the specific tactics of the Communists especially in the way that they recruited their members and built them into leaders.〔Gary North. ("Mother Teresa: The Efficiency of Self-Sacrifice" ), LewRockwell.com〕 On his death he had allegedly become an agnostic, having had difficulties pursuing social justice and economic equality issues within the Catholic Church.〔 == Works == * ''I Believed: The Autobiography of a Former British Communist'', William Heinemann, London, Melbourne, Toronto, 1950.
