=== Films ===
Ronson sold the [[film rights]] to ''The Men Who Stare at Goats'', and subsequently a [[The Men Who Stare at Goats (film)|film of the same name]] was released in 2009 as a comedy [[war film]] directed by [[Grant Heslov]] and written by [[Peter Straughan]]. According to Ronson's DVD-commentary, the journalist-character Bob Wilton ([[Ewan McGregor]]) did experience some elements of Ronson's self-recounted story from the book. However, unlike Ronson, Wilton was an American from [[Ann Arbor]]. Also, unlike Ronson, Wilton went to Iraq.<ref name=DVD />
