5.0 out of 5 stars Bothing Beats This Book, August 31, 2000

By	Ira_Bloke (Belfast, N.Ireland) - See all my reviews

This book farts in the general direction of the anarchist, terrorist and jolly roger cookbooks. Unlike them, this one was created by a bunch of government scientists so not only do the recipes work properly as long as guidelines are followed, but it contains many more recipes and many more techniques for your enjoyment. Remember, if you want a good book about explosives, rockets, chemical mixtures, how to build devices, and how to aquire ingredients, this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY THE BEST BY A MILE!, May 14, 2000

By	J CREMIN (Republic Of Ireland) - See all my reviews

IF YOU WANT TO GET A BOOK ON IMPROVISED MUNITIONS THIS IS THE ONLY BOOK YOU WILL EVER NEED.EVERY PAGE IS JAM PACKED WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON THE MANUFACTURE AND USE OF HOMEMADE FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVE DEVICES. THE BEST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TESTED AND VERIFIED AT FRANKFORD ARSENAL SO YOU CAN BE CERTAIN THAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK AS PLANNED IF YOU STUCK TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. UNLIKE THE ANARCHIST COOKBOOK YOU CAN TRUST THIS ONE AS IT WAS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT UNLIKE WILLIAM POWELL(OF THE ANARCHIST COOKBOOK)

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than most other cookbooks, August 31, 2000

By	Slartibartfast (U.K) - See all my reviews

The contents in this book were origionally tried and tested by the u.s government for the military, so its contents are much safer in terms of stability, and maybe to some degree, safer(although NO pyrotechnics are safe) than other cookbooks. It is NOT intended to be used in practice, but for educational purposes only!. As a pyrotechnician myself, i have found this book to be the best of its kind that i have found to date. Well worth purchasing.
