From the bestselling author of Them: Adventures with Extremists, the hilarious and unsettling (The Boston Globe) true story about what happened when a small group of men--highly placed within the US military, government, and intelligence services--began believing in very strange things. 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.Binding Type: Paperback

It’s very hard to prepare for a comprehensive certification examination studying from an incomplete text. FYI, the book was purchased new and not damaged, it was bound that way

Kindle version does not come with tests/flashcards
I did not know this beforehand. They hid this fact waaaay down below and added it in below the details and neglected to add it to the main description at the top. Be advised.

General overview and relevant search terms for you to look up
Format: Paperback
I liked that there are online resources. I disliked multiple typos and some information that disagreed with my personal experience so I don't know what that was about. Stopped reading it after this chapter

Great study material
I’m using this to get ready for my A+ exam. Can’t wait to finally get certified in all the areas I have been dreaming to work in. I have ADD so it’s tough to sit and ready most things, but this book allows me to focus on something I love to be around, talk about and work on. It’s super helpful in Computer Hardware (basics) software trouble shooting (basics) and learning about handheld devices like cell phones, although some information is not correct on the cell phone portions, I am an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) certified technician and a Wise Level 2 certified technician so I am very familiar with cell phones, but it’s not all wrong, it allows the reader to search for the information and build a better foundation on these products because they change so frequently. Also the visuals are amazing, I love to see pictures of what I am reading about because I’m such a man child, but also because theory is one thing and practical knowledge is another. Being able to replicate a scenario and attempt a fix is helpful to those who can’t sit still.
