Not A Joke: The Pentagon Just Destroyed Thousands Of Books | Mediaite
Last week the Pentagon destroyed thousands of copies of a single book. The book was Army Reserve Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer’s new memoir “Operation Dark Heart”, about his time in Afghanistan leading a black-ops team, and the Pentagon was so determined the public not read portions of it they purchased all 9,500 copies of it directly from its publisher, St. Martins, with the express purpose of destroying it.
I used to consider St. Martin's a great press. Now I'm not so sure. If they print more copies, then I will change my mind. But WHY would they sell all to the Pentagon? They must have realized what was going on.
