Uma deliciosa narrativa sobre a falta de bom senso que rege setores das Forças Armadas americanas na guerra contra o terror.

Em 1979, uma unidade secreta foi criada pelas mentes mais brilhantes do exército americano. Desafiando toda a prática militar vigente – e as leis da física -, o seleto grupo acreditava que os soldados poderiam usar mantos de invisibilidade, passar através de paredes e, quem sabe, matar cabras só de olhá-las. Esse era o Primeiro Batalhão da Terra. E eles não estavam de brincadeira.
Para escrever essa narrativa, Ronson entrevistou os principais personagens dessa curiosa história e traçou a evolução das bizarras atividades ocorridas na unidade secreta nas últimas três décadas. Por meio de conexões e associações, o autor mostra que essas práticas continuam vivas no Departamento de Segurança Nacional e o no Iraque pós-guerra.
