'Combines elements of In Cold Blood and Black Hawk Down with
Apocalypse Now as it builds towards its terrible
climax...Extraordinary' New York Times Iraq's 'Triangle of Death',
2005. A platoon of young soldiers from a U.S. regiment known as
'the Black Heart Brigade' is deployed to a lawless and hyperviolent
area just south of Baghdad. Almost immediately, the attacks begin:
every day another roadside bomb, another colleague blown to pieces.
As the daily violence chips away, and chips away at their sanity,
the thirty-five young men of 1st Platoon, Bravo Company descend
into a tailspin of poor discipline, substance abuse, and brutality
-- with tragic results. Black Hearts is a timeless true story of
how modern warfare can make or break a man's character. Told with
severe compassion, balanced judgement and the magnetic pace of a
thriller, it looks set to become one of the defining books about
the Iraq War. 'Black Hearts is the obverse of Band of Brothers, a
story not of combat unity but of disharmony and disarray' Chicago
Sun-Times 'A riveting picture of life outside the wire in Iraq,
where "you tell a guy to go across a bridge, and within five
minutes he's dead."' Kirkus Reviews (starred)
