　　This is the story of a small group of soldiers from the 101st

Airborne Division’s fabled 502nd Infantry Regiment—a unit known as

“the Black Heart Brigade.” Deployed in late 2005 to Iraq’s

so-called Triangle of Death, a veritable meat grinder just south of

Baghdad, the Black Hearts found themselves in arguably the

country’s most dangerous location at its most dangerous time.

Hit by near-daily mortars, gunfire, and roadside bomb attacks,

suffering from a particularly heavy death toll, and enduring a

chronic breakdown in leadership, members of one Black Heart

platoon—1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 1st Battalion—descended, over

their year-long tour of duty, into a tailspin of poor discipline,

substance abuse, and brutality.

Four 1st Platoon soldiers would perpetrate one of the most

heinous war crimes U.S. forces have committed during the Iraq

War—the rape of a fourteen-year-old Iraqi girl and the cold-blooded

execution of her and her family. 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.

Black Heartsis 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 Heartsis 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.
