| Description: | Select Guide Rating The Sunday Times number one bestseller that inspired the major motion picture. <p><b>Often funny, sometimes chilling and always thought-provoking, journalist Jon Ronson's <i>Sunday Times </i>bestseller <i>The Men Who Stare at Goats</i> is a story so unbelievable it has to be true.</b><br><br>In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known military practice – and indeed the laws of physics – they believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them.<br><br> They were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting George Bush's War on Terror. <br><br>Inspired the film starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor.</p> |
