Explosives and Homemade Bombs (2nd Ptg.) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

By Joseph Stoffel, AUS (Ret.). Devoted to the practical problems of dealing with explosives and homemade bombs, this book offers the student of police and fire science a thorough guide to such devices and their disposal. Nontechnical language is employed throughout to facilitate understanding and retention of crucial concepts by personnel who would not ordinarily perform bomb disposal duties. A partial list of contents indicates the broad scope of this work: statistics, motivations, explosives and their effects, commercial supplies, explosive firing trains, triggering methods, the unexploded bomb, protective measures, destruction by burning and demolition, and bomb training aids. The book is ideal for use in a formal classroom situation. Problems, solutions, questions, examples and practical exercises complement the text. Clarity of presentation and profuse illustrations round out this excellent technical manual.
