Now a major motion picture (starring George Clooney, no less) this unsettling, bizarre, and hilarious book documents one of the stranger experiments in the military history of the United States. In 1979, a secret unit of the army was established in an attempt to defy the laws of physics. They set out to create soldiers that could don invisibility cloaks, walk through walls, and even kill telekinetically, simply by staring. In this unbelievable true story, discover some of the horrifying and bizarre activities that this unit, the First Earth Battalion, got up to. From mass cult suicides, to Barney the purple dinosaur, The Men Who Stare at Goats takes the reader on a journey through history they won't soon forget.(This title may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
