Earn It: Life, Times, and Leadership is both an inspiring military memoir and a practical leadership manual, co-authored by Sergeant Major of the Army Julius William (Bill) Gates and Colonel Wes Martin. Spanning over five decades of service, Gates takes readers from his humble roots on a self-sufficient farm in North Carolina to pivotal moments in Cold War Berlin, Vietnam, and Operation Desert Storm.

More than just a personal story, this book reveals how discipline, integrity, mentorship, and adaptability shaped Gates’ leadership philosophy and helped influence Army culture. His journey is a compelling reminder that leadership must be earned—not handed down—and that enlisted leaders play a critical role in mission success.

Ideal for current and aspiring military leaders, veterans, and anyone seeking lessons in resilience, moral courage, and service-driven leadership.
