Shaffer, Anthony

Operation dark heart : spycraft and special ops on the frontlines of Afghanistan-- and the path to victory / Anthony Shaffer. - 1st ed. - New York : Thomas Dunne Books, 2010. - xv, 299 p. ; 25 cm.

Revised edition with redactions. Includes index.

Shaffer delivers an exciting, eyewitness account of fighting terrorism in Afghanistan using the military's most cutting-edge espionage tactics. Just before St. Martin's Press release of the book, The Department of Defense and the Defense Intelligence Agency, demanded the author and the publisher produce the book for review. They, and "other interested U.S. intelligence agencies" met with the author to review changes and redactions that they required be made, before the book could be published, in order to "not damage our national security, harm our troops, or harm U.S. military intelligence efforts or assets." Thus, there are sections with redactions in the final book.
