Count Your Dead
is the first novel written about the Vietnam War by a professional soldier. A fictional story with drama, violence, strong characters and poignant moments,
is closely based on real events and John Rowe's personal experiences and observations of real people.
When
was first published in 1968, it made front-page news and led to his resignation from the military. Written by Rowe as part of his own personal process to make sense of the complicated war, it raises questions still relevant in global conflicts today.
