Someone had requested this book a year ago and no-one found it for him, so here it is.
Some background details on the book from Wiki:
Operation Dark Heart is a 2010 memoir by U.S. Army intelligence officer
Lt. Col Anthony Shaffer notable for the lengths the U.S. Defense
Department went in an attempt to censor information revealed within, after
the book had already been distributed free of redactions.
The book details Shaffer's five months in Afghanistan and includes former
code names, operational details, and describes some of the inner workings
of America's intelligence agencies. After submitting the book for review to
the U.S. Army in 2003 and receiving approval, a printing of an only
modestly censored edition was made, and nearly 100 advanced copies
were distributed.
Shortly after the first printing, the Defense Intelligence Agency and
National Security Agency saw copies of the book and insisted on censoring
passages they deemed sensitive. The first, uncensored printing of nearly
10,000 copies was purchased and destroyed by the Pentagon in its
entirety, and a second, censored printing was released in September
2010.[1] However, because several original, advanced copies are in
circulation, the contents of the censored passages are known, and the
Pentagon's attempt to keep the information secret has flagged the known
but censored content as more interesting. Further, the entire debacle has
attracted more attention to the book, undermining the Pentagon's
proclaimed intention of keeping the information contained, barring an even
more exhaustive effort.
On September 26, 2010 Wikileaks announced that it had obtained a copy
of the first edition on Twitter.[2]
This is incidentally the September 2010 version of the book.
You can imagine how hard it would be to obtain any earlier versions.
I only have the book in the .epub format meaning that rather than needing a PDF reader (like Adobe Acrobat) you will need an ebook reader that can read .epub files. There are many out there, I use http://calibre-ebook.com/
Once you have downloaded both the Calibre program and the book file, open Calibre and click 'Add books'. Simply select the location you had downloaded the file to and you will be able to read it. Simple.

If there are any issues, please let me know.
