The Men Who Stare At Goats

Description

What happened when a small group of men - highly placed within the United States military, the government, and the intelligence services - began believing in very strange things? In this mind-boggling and often hilarious book, journalist Jon Ronson reveals some of the extraordinary beliefs at the core of the War on Terror. So unbelievable that it has to be true - this is the real-life account that inspired the film. `Not only a narcotic road trip through the wackier reaches of Bush's war effort, but also an unmissable account of some of the insanity that has lately been done in our names' Observer
