Why did Charles Darwin hesitate to publish his book?

Because at that time, it was frowned upon to have other views than the majority. Especially if what you said would make you an Atheist. Now, Darwin did publish more than one book, so I assume you're talking about the Origin of Spicies. Darwin had many friends who were really religious and so was the rest of the community. He was afraid to lose what he had because of it. He was thingking through the pro and cons, was it really worh it? He waited to so long, that the church eventually lost its power slowly. This was the ideal opening for him to publish his works. He did not include the human in this work, only in this sentence: "Light shall be thrown upon man and his history". - Which indicates that he does want to, but won't speak about it until further... Hope that thelps.

Why did Darwin not tell anyone of his theory?

Most think that he was quite aware of the religious and scientific controversies the publication of his theory would engender.
