From the publisher:

 An exciting, eye-witness account of fighting terrorism in Afghanistan using the military's most cutting-edge espionage tactics Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Shaffer had been part of espionage operations for years before he went into the field to help fight the war in Afghanistan. He led the charge in blocking the Taliban's resurgence. But the policies that top officials relied on were hopelessly flawed. Shaffer and his team were forced to sit and watch as the insurgency grew just across the border in Pakistan. This wasn't the first time he saw bureaucracy stand in the way of national security. He had participated in Able Danger, the aborted intelligence operation that identified many of the future 9/11 terrorists but failed to pursue them. His attempt to reveal it to the 9/11 Commission would not sit well with the top brass and would eventually cost him his job. For readers of Jawbreaker and Kill Bin Laden, Operation Dark Heart reveals what really went on, and what went wrong, in the Afghanistan war. Filled with stories of espionage and intrigue in the combat zone, Shaffer shows the spy's side of the story About the Author Anthony Shaffer LT. COL. ANTHONY SHAFFER is a Bronze Star Medal recipient who is a CIA-trained senior intelligence operations officer and reserve Army lieutenant colonel with more than twenty-two years of experience in the intelligence community. Currently, he is a fellow and special lecturer at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies in Washington, D.C.

Here is an excerpt from Amazon.com: Page 17
At DIA, in 1999 and 2000, I was director of Task Force Stratus Ivy. One of my elements was the first undercover cyber unit, where we put officers undercover posing as hackers on the Internet. During my command of Task Force Stratus Ivy, we were looking to penetrate al Qaeda command and control nodes in Kabul. We knew they contained significant information on individuals being trained in the terrorism camps - and, more importantly, their potential targets. My unit's mission, within the context of a much larger operation known as Able Danger, was to try to find a way to access the computers and pull the data off without their knowledge. We were making progress - and had a pathway in - when things were shut down; a decision that was terribly flawed in retrospect. We also penetrated the North Korean clandestine weapons and technology acquisition network, using a cover company where I was (in alias) the chief executive. In another operation, we penetrated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Iranian intelligence service. Nevertheless, we faced constant resistance from the risk-averse DIA bureaucracy.
