The Men Who Stare At Goats by Jon Ronson
In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them.
Jon Ronson is a writer and television presenter. His column in the Guardian, 'The Human Zoo', ran successfully for many years. He has written and presented a number of television documentaries on subjects ranging from the Rev. Ian Paisley to the Ku Klux Klan to - the biters bit - TV critics. His first book, Them: Adventures With Extremists, which describes his encounters with some of the world's craziest megalomaniacs and conspiracy theorists, was published by Picador in 2001. It received highly laudatory reviews, and spent seven weeks in the top ten of the Bookwatch/Sunday Times bestseller list.
