A well written, interesting story about a forgotten hero of World War I. Others are also written about.

I thought book would be solely about the life of Water Tull but it isn't. Chapter 8 is entitled Other Black Soldiers and Regiments of the First World War while Chapter 9 lists is a list of the 559 officers and men of the 23rd (Service) Battalion, (2nd Football) Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge’s Own) who where killed during the Great War. Other chapters seem to be dedicated to pre-war history, sadly I did not enjoy the book but that is not say others won't.
