On March 14, 1948, Douglas Hyde handed in his resignation as the news editor of the London Daily Worker and wrote "the end" to twenty years of his life as a member of the Communist Party. A week later, in a written statement, Hyde announced that he had renounced Communism and, with his wife and children, was joining the Catholic Church. The long pilgrimage from Communism to Christ carried Douglas Hyde from complete commitment to Marxism, to a questioning uneasiness about Soviet Russia's glaring contradictions of ideology and action, to a final rejection of the Party. In Dedication and Leadership, he advances the theory that although the goals and aims of Communism are antithetical to human dignity and the rights of the individual, there is much to be learned from communist methods, cadres and psychological motivation. Hyde describes the Communist mechanics of instilling dedication, the first prerequisite for leadership. Here is the complete rationale of party technique: how to stimulate the willingness to sacrifice; the advisibility of making big demands to insure a big response; the inspirational indoctrination; and the subtle conversion methods. In this small book, so large with implications, Douglas Hyde comments on both Communist and Catholic potential and their lack of maximum effectiveness. He advocates positive Catholic action, not just a negative anti-Communism, and he points out that the guidelines are now down for a decisive choice between total Communism and a total Christianity. Here is a realistic approach to an acute problem uncolored by emotional propaganda, and here is a realistic answer on how to inspire dedication for leadership.

Hyde is clear in saying that the strength of Communism is not in the strength of its ideas. Christianity has something infinitely better to offer the world. But it is “their ability to fire the imagination, create a sense of dedication and send their followers into effective, meaningful action” which causes so great an influence in the world (12). It is without question that a relatively small number of adherents to Marxist philosophy have influenced a great many people and nations over the previous two centuries. The sad reality is that so great a number of Christians feel they have no influence in the world. Rather, Christ’s disciples are the salt of the earth, having a preserving influence on society and helping restrain its evil. Christians are also the light of the earth, bringing the beam of truth into a dark world, with an aim for all people to see the glory of God who is in heaven (Matt. 5:13-16).
The Communists propose that there is a great battle going on all over the world for men’s hearts, minds, and souls. The Christians must be involved in this battle, seeking to win souls unto the best news the world has ever heard. It is much better than a political philosophy. It is better than money or wealth. If Christ is risen, this news is infinitely good. The stakes are high because eternal destinies hang in the balance of this great battle. (
