Overview

Have you ever planned an ambush? Have you ever endured a leader you couldn't stand? Get Some! takes you deep into the Vietnam War, where the realities of combat and leadership play out on the front lines. Told from both the American and North Vietnamese perspectives, this gripping narrative captures the brutal intensity of battle and the complex dynamics of military command-both the inspiring and the deeply flawed. In the military, there's no walking away from a bad boss without serious consequences-especially for Marines, who might find themselves behind bars in Portsmouth Naval Prison. That's the reality of service, and it has to be that way. By the time you finish Get Some!, you won't just understand what it takes to execute a successful ambush-you'll know what it means to fight, survive, and lead under impossible conditions.
