The Men Who Stare at Goats
- Jon Ronson, The Men Who Stare At Goats, paperback
Bizarre military history: In 1979, a crack commando unit was established by the most gifted minds within the U.S. Army. Defying all known laws of physics and accepted military practice, they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, andâ‚¬"perhaps most chillinglyâ‚¬"kill goats just by staring at them. They were the First Earth Battalion, entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries. And they really werenâ‚¬t joking. Whatâ‚¬s more, theyâ‚¬re backâ‚¬"and theyâ‚¬re fighting the War on Terror.

An uproarious exploration of American military paranoia: With investigations ranging from the mysterious â‚¬Å“Goat Lab,â‚¬Â to Uri Gellerâ‚¬s covert psychic work with the CIA, to the increasingly bizarre role played by a succession of U.S. presidents, this might just be the funniest, most unsettling book you will ever readâ‚¬"if only because it is all true and is still happening today.
