2.0 out of 5 stars The High Rating Is For The Format., December 8, 2005

By 

The Real GonzoBob "G-Bob" (Badnews, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Anarchist Handbook (Paperback)

This book, the first edition, is very simple. That is probabley it's best feature. The second is it's drawings. Negative points come from thin content, vague content and limited application value. It describes the use of explosives, fuses and primers... but no formula(s). Its an elementary idea book at the most. If many of the other books presented the information in the professional format this book is in... it would be a miracle manual of sorts. Silencer description...OK. Pipe Grenade... bad. Shot Gun Grenade Launcher... semi valuable. Claymore Mine... not a good idea. Rocket launcher... incomplete and no actual how to instructions. Plastic Explosive... Mix two ingredients, wow. Blasting caps... good for beginers. Thats it. If the other three are like this, I don't think Ill take the time to read them. All 4 minutes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Make-believe Anarchism for revolutionary wannabees, October 30, 2001

By 

John P. Lockwood "Volcanologist" (Hawaii) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Can You Survive (Paperback)

All the information in this book is either bogus or suitable only for puerile kiddie games for the weird types who like to sit around and play like make-believe revolutionaries. None of the instructions are adequate to make the infernal devices described (blasting caps, pipe bombs, grenade launchers, Claymore mines, rocket launchers) and most require access to conventional explosives (from unspecified sources). There are no discussions about how to prepare actual explosive mixtures (any 19th century handbook or innumerable Websites will give much, much more reliable information), and the one explosives recipe (for "plastic explosives") is a joke and would not work (although grinding potassium chlorate crystals into a fine powder as recommended could cause autodetonation and serious injury to the would-be bomb-maker.....).

This short (64 pp) book is poorly printed and full of typos. I deeply regret having wasted my (money) on it.

1.0 out of 5 stars U got to be kiddin, July 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Anarchist Handbook (Paperback)

books like this are not a relaible source if you want to make explosives because they would probaly blow up in your face.

If you want good books, try Poor man's James bond, princples of improvised explosive device (Switches) and Home workshop explosives (on Amazon) because you can make the stuff, if you wanted to but.

Also don't get caught with books because of September 11
Do not show them off to your friends or family
