The book "Count Your Dead" was published by Angus & Robertson.[3] An article on Rowe’s book written by John Miles called "Soldier’s Bitter Vietnam Book" was later published in a 16 August 1968 newspaper article for The Adelaide Advertiser in Australia.[4][5]
  • In 2003, "Count Your Dead" was selected by the Sydney University Press for inclusion in their Classic Works series of 25 books by Australian authors both living and dead.[6]
  • In 2012, The Australian beat writer Peter Pierce wrote an article on Rowe’s book "Count Your Dead" called "Kill by Kill, Name by Name".
