This review is from: Detection and Disposal of Improvised Explosives (NATO Security through Science Series B: Physics and Biophysics) (Hardcover)
Despite the exciting and potentially useful title, it's based on conference proceedings and that is just a lot of dubious technical dancing between the Russians, Americans, British, French, etc at some conference none of them wanted to be at. And it shows. Most of the papers are poorly written and based on academic papers found free on the web. As a starter, you'd kind of expect a topology/roadmap - a description of current IEDs and how they are used, and how they might change in the future. Nope.
Choose the other overly-expensive, thin NATO paperback "Unexploded Ordnance Detection and Mitigation" - it's better but still not great and has much more in it on Detection than Mitigation. Also "Counterterrorist Detection Techniques of Explosives" has most of the stuff this book has and is better, cheaper and a hardcover. Run, don't walk. |
