Staring At The Men Who Stare At Goats

Jon Ronson has a new book out and if it's anything like his last, Them: Adventures With Extremists it's sure to be hilarious. The Men Who Stare at Goats is about a secret unit of the US Military who were determined to discover ways that soldiers could become invisible, pass through walls, and kill with their sight.  Given the subject matter, the book could be a paranoid, conspiracy laden, diatribe, or an inquisitive and humorous investigation.  Of course, Ronson could only deliver the latter. 

Ronson, a frequent contributor to NPR and This American Life has some reviews and excerpts of the book posted on his site.
