Three other 1st Platoon soldiers would be overrun at a remote outpost—one killed immediately and two taken from the scene, their mutilated corpses found days later booby-trapped with explosives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack Hearts is an unflinching account of the epic, tragic deployment of 1st Platoon. Drawing on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with Black Heart soldiers and first-hand reporting from the Triangle of Death, Black Hearts is a timeless story about men in combat and the fragility of character in the savage crucible of warfare. But it is also a timely warning of new dangers emerging in the way American soldiers are led on the battlefields of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Jim Frederick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67568153067702,"sku":null,"price":1195.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/1794\/2710\/files\/7168870.jpg?v=1790927923","url":"https:\/\/booksvilla.com.pk\/products\/black-hearts","provider":"Booksvilla.pk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
