Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Operation Dark Heart tells the story of what really went on--and what went wrong--in Afghanistan. Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer led a black-ops team on the forefront of the military efforts to block the Taliban's resuregence. For a moment he saw us winning the war. Then the military brass got involved. He witnessed firsthand the tipping point, when what seemed like certain victory turned into failure. This wasn't the first time he had seen bureacracy stand in the way of national security. He had participated in Able Danger, the aborted intelligence operation that identitifed many of the future 9/11 terrorists but failed to pursue them. His attempt to reveal the truth to the 9/11 Commission would not go over well with the higher-ups. Operation Dark Heart made headlines when the Department of Defense bought the entire unredacted first printing. The book's revised second printing includes redactions, which, according to The New York Times, offer a rare glimpse behind the bureaucratic veil that clocks information the government considers too important for public airing. But most importantly, Operation Dark Heart remains a stirring indictment against military bureaucracy and a culture of cover-ups.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. An unprecedented history of the CIA's secret and amazing gadgetry behind the art of espionage In this look at the CIA's most secretive operations and the devices that made them possible, Spycraft tells gripping life-and-death stories about a group of spytechs--much of it never previously revealed and with images never before seen by the public.   The CIA's Office of Technical Service is the ultrasecret department that grappled with challenges such as:   What does it take to build a quiet helicopter? How does one embed a listening device in a cat? What is an invisible photo used for?   These amazingly inventive devices were created and employed against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions--including the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and continuing terrorist threats. Written by Robert Wallace, the former director of the Office of Technical Service, and internationally renowned intelligence historian Keith Melton, Spycraft is both a fantastic encyclopedia of gadgetry and a revealing primer on the fundamentals of high-tech espionage.   "The first comprehensive look at the technical achievements of American espionage from the 1940s to the present."--Wired   "Reveals more concrete information about CIA tradecraft than any book."--The Washington Times  "This is a story I thought could never be told."--JAMES M. OLSON, former chief of CIA counterintelligence.…
