1.0 out of 5 stars If only I could give it less than one star..., October 3, 2003
Ask anyone who has (1) a working knowledge of explosives (or more accurately, pyrotechnics) and (2) gone through the wheat and the chaff of pyrotechnics literature what they think of Kurt Saxon's body of work, and you'll doubtlessly receive a litany of 4-letter words I can't write here. He does not know what he's talking about, and he has done very little of what writes about. One of the few times he put his own life on the line--rather than his readers'--he lost part of his hand.

Please, read it for the entertainment value, but nothing else.

1.0 out of 5 stars WRONG! ALL WRONG!, April 10, 2003
By Jake Bishop (On the road . . .) - See all my reviews
This travesty is filled with useless and inaccurate misinformation which could quite easily result in an experimenter being maimed, blinded or killed. The illustrations are so crudely rendered they might as well have been drawn with a crayon. Only the first twenty-or-so pages are original material -- the remainder of the book consists of nearly illegible photocopies of obsolete pyrotechnics and ballistics patents and similar filler material. A disgusting waste of paper!

2.0 out of 5 stars Some What Useful, December 8, 2005
I have to say, despite the condemnation by rather intelligent associate and reviewers, and the undaunting approval from those of lesser intelligence, I still bought this book. It is one, very expensive. Secondly, it is very poorly written and illustrated. My god man, a ruler, a 99 cent ruler!

Any way, Id have to admitt, there is some useful information. But it is crudely presented and you have to sift through eons of photo copied horse dung to find it. Probabley not worth it in the long run. Im talking about reliability and financialy. Another disturbing thing Id like cleared up. The author refers to himself as a militant and a freedom fighter of sorts and refers to the readers as Militants. If so, and I imagine that the goal is to fight "the power", why the hell is this guy writing about weapons and techniques geared toward attacking crowds of civilians? A little off. Oh, and I heard a description for this book somewhere about using the information to protect your family and self sustaining power, hydro and cultivation systems. It was similar, but not exactly in those words. No armor or shelter designs, nor any power systems. Nothing of useful for "survival" All I see is a still, and explosive compounds from the 19th century. Oh, and the Marines don't use the Hand to Hand combat system, nor do any service members. It was terribley inefficient, hard to train realisticaly without injury and impractical. Its been replaced by modern brazilian Ju Jitsu similar to wrestling. And the Marines don't teach you to disarm a man's side arm while standing directly in front of it. Arson by Electronics is useless to.

The second edition is even even worst.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone's an expert!
I'm mystified at some of the negative reviews. Perhaps it is the desire of the reviewers to appear more jaded and expert in mayhem than they really are? Read more
