You can't use "will", you have to use "would". Where did the grammar book say you can use "will"?
"He would be the last man to help us." - Even if everybody else helped us, he would not help us.
"He would be the last man to tell a lie." - Even if everyone else lied, he would not lie.
"It is the last place I would want to visit." = I do not want to visit there. - If there are any other options, I would choose that over the first place.
"That is the last thing I would want to do." = I do not want to do that. I would choose to do anything over that.
