'All the guns in France couldn't wake me'
In December 2009, RAW will publish Phil Vasili's biography of Tull 'All the guns in France couldn't wake me'. Phil Vasili has been researching Walter Tull's life ever since he came across a passing reference to Tull while researching a book about Britain's earliest Black footballers. In early 1996, Vasili published an article on Tull for the academic journal Race & Class.
All the refererences to Tull on this website have been contributed by Phil Vasili. We wish him every success with his book. For more details about the book and to order a pre-publication copy at 10% discount until October 31, visit www.rawpress.co.uk
