This review is from: Bombs and Bombings: A Handbook to Detection, Disposal and Investigation for Police and Fire Departments (Hardcover)

Uncertified Public Safety Bomb Technician, member IABTI

This book is a MUST-HAVE for any person or units' pub/reference library. Contrary to another review, it IS an instruction guide, and assists the reader who is tasked with IED / EOD responsibilities. While it is no substitute for training under a qualified staff, it's a damn close second.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Bombs and Bombings: A Handbook to Detection, Disposal and Investigation for Police and Fire Departments (Hardcover)

This book is a great reference for all emergency personal and should be read. It is not an instruction manual, and by no means will make one an expert. But it will give the person a concise and clear overview and guidelines of what to do in an emergency situation.
