""In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the U.S. Army. Defying all known accepted 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. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror. With firsthand access to the leading players in the story, Ronson traces the evolution of these bizarre activities over the past three decades and shows how they are alive today within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and in postwar Iraq. Why are they blasting Iraqi prisoners of war with the theme tune to Barney the Purple Dinosaur? Why have 100 debleated goats been secretly placed inside the Special Forces Command Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina? How was the U.S. military associated with the mysterious mass suicide of a strange cult from San Diego? The Men Who Stare at Goats answers these and many more questions."--Publisher description."

""Tras la derrota de Vietnam, el ejérico americano exploró todo tipo de posibilidades para impedir nuevos fracasos militares -- y el control mental fue una de ellas. Ésta es la historia real de un destacamento militar del ejéricito estadounidense especializado en fuerzas paranormales, cuyos integrantes pretendían aprender a asesinar al enemigo con la mirada, dominar la técnica de atravesar paredes, conseguir poderes similares a los de los caballeros Jedi de 'La Guerra de las Galaxias' y desarrollar otras de espionaje psíquico -- técnicas que más tarde se usarían la 'Guerra Contra el Terror' del presidente George W. Bush."--Publisher's description."
