I wonder what a copy of that book would go for, assuming one might be available?
Supposedly, one went on ebay for $2,000.00

Buy new: $25.99 $14.28
The above book is available at Amazon.com. I assume this is different from the one the Gov’t bought up. Or not???
There is one up on ebay claiming to be 1st edition listed at $779 right now.
LOL...correction...that was a redacted 1st edition, an unredacted 1st edition is listed at $13,889.
31.50 in hardcover at Amazon.com Of course this is the revised edition. The spiel from Amazon:
Important Message for Customers On Friday, August 13, 2010, just as St. Martins Press was readying its initial shipment of Operation Dark Heart, the Department of Defense expressed concern that its publication could cause damage to U.S. national security. The publication of the initial edition was canceled. However, after consulting with the author, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, St. Martin's Press agreed to incorporate some of the governments changes, which includes redacting classified text, into a revised edition.
