Description
The Men Who Stare at Goats is a story so unbelievable it has to be true. In 1979, a secret unit was established by the US Army, defying all known accepted military practice. They believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and even kill goats just by staring at them. This was the First Earth Battalion, tasked with defending America from all known adversaries. The unit's activities are both fascinating and unsettling, and Jon Ronson's book delves into the strange world of the US military's attempts to harness the power of the human mind. From the bizarre to the chilling, Ronson's account is a compelling look at the darker side of human nature. With first-hand access to the leading players, this book is a gripping and thought-provoking read. Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books, The Men Who Stare at Goats is a story that will leave you questioning the limits of human possibility.
