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, and--perhaps most chillingly--kill goats just by staring at them. They were the First Earth Battalion, entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back--and they're fighting the War on Terror. An uproarious exploration of American military paranoia: With investigations ranging from the mysterious \"Goat Lab,\" to Uri Geller's covert psychic work with the CIA, to the increasingly bizarre role played by a succession of US presidents, this might just be the funniest, most unsettling book you will ever read--if only because it is all true and is still happening today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJon Ronson is a documentary filmmaker and author.
