The Chemistry of Explosives

I didnt dislike anything in thos book, it brought back memories of being a e-1 in the navy and taking my explosive exam... I got an 85 percent on it and it was actually the highest grade of the class... who knew I'd become an explosive expert, so thanks...

A very good introduction for the novice to the study of explosives!

From someone who has spent the last 50+ years in the propulsion and explosives industry, it was a very interesting read. It did jump around quite a bit and at times it was hard to follow the author's line of thinking. Good historical view of the allied complexities during WW II.

love the book

Excellent book

Very informative

Great book!

Good for basic explosive concepts, and advanced chemical characteristics of specific explosives, but not much in between. Good primer for emergency managers, or chemists seeking detailed information, but not particularly useful explosives users or first responders.
