COUNT YOUR DEAD

JOHN ROWE.

MAJOR BILL MORGAN, A COMPANY COMMANDER WHO WON HIS SILVER STAR FOR OUTSTANDING gallantry in the battle at My Trang, felt, at thirty-six, that Vietnam was ageing him rapidly. He'd had more than his share of shell and shot. Some of his colleagues were muttering that Morgan's luck was running out-the next one would have his name on it.

Morgan's brigade commander was a ruthless professional who, for all his blind spots, was a man of action and a decision maker.Morgan knew that a clash was inevitable between Colonel Robbins and himself.And amidst scenes of violent fighting and appalling death, his concept of war changed fundamentally as his disenchantment with his senior officer grew.
