Book description
THEM charts Jon's discovery that extremists - Islamic fundamentalists,
neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen - all have one oddly similar belief: that a
tiny, shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room. And so Jon sets
out to locate that room. Chased by men in dark glasses and unmasked as a
Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, Jon's journey is creepy as
well as comic, and perhaps the extremists are on to something . . . The
Men Who Stare at Goats tells the unbelievable story of the First Earth
Battalion, established by the US Army in 1979 as a secret unit, they
defied all known military practice, and even the laws of physics, in
their belief that a soldier could become invisible, pass through walls
and kill goats just by staring at them. And, as Jon discovers, they
really weren't joking. The Psychopath Test sees Jon set out on an
utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. He meets
psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those
whose job it is to diagnose it, from whom Jon learns the art of
psychopath-spotting. And it soon becomes clear that madness could indeed
be at the heart of everything . . . Often funny, sometimes chilling and
always thought-provoking, these books combine Jon's trademark humour,
charm and investigative incision whilst asking some very serious
questions.
