Product Description

Review

“Anthony Shaffer has written a gripping account, filled with amazing detail, of an otherwise secret world. Shaffer has the instincts of a thriller writer and the knowledge and perspective of the professional insider. "Operation Dark Heart" is a fascinating page-turner.”

-- Doug Stanton, author of "Horse Soldiers"

“A fascinating look into the highly complex world of modern combat, clandestine intelligence and bureaucrats run amok. Tony Shaffer walks and runs us through a critical time in the history in the war in Afghanistan. From the opening to the closing, you are on the edge of your seat. Tony is, in all aspects, the real Jack Bauer - but with an intellect.”

--Dr. Christopher M. Lehman, former Special Assistant to President Reagan, National Security Counsel“["Operation Dark Heart"] takes you inside the espionage world, a labyrinth of secret agencies that do not like to share secrets."--"Army Times"

Format: Hardcover
I am sure the original version was fascinating. However this version is completely redacted and unreadable. A waste of time and money. Amazon UK should have had a notice that this was the redacted version.

I returned the book.

A waste of trees.

It is very heavily censored and will take the edge off the story without a doubt. It is now in 2011 totally out of date. A lot of what is blacked out had no need to be at all. Most of the blacked out can be sourced elsewhere. Not worth purchasing at all.

The best read i have had in a long time... The author gives a better/clearer picture on what is really going on in Afghanistan, although many parts were censured...
