'Absorbing... revealing and affecting. There are pleasures here, and lessons to be learnt, whatever colour you are' - The Sunday Times'Michael Fuller is an extraordinary man with a remarkable and interesting story' - Helen MirrenA story about race, identity, belonging and displacement, "e;Kill the Black One First"e; is the memoir from Michael Fuller - Britain's first ever black Chief Constable, whose childhood in care and career in policing is not only a stark representation of race relations in the UK, but also a unique morality tale of how humanity deals with life's unfairness.Hoping to tackle injustice and create change from within, Michael joined the police force. There, he experienced racism and inequality, from colleagues shouting racist insults, to the Brixton Riots where 'Kill the black one first!' was yelled from the crowds. Determined, despite everything, not to turn and walk away, he rose through the ranks and made his way to the very top."e;Kill the Black One First"e; is an unflinching account of a life in policing during a tumultuous period, and how one man set out, against the odds, to try and belong.
