Product Description
Review
"If there is a book for explosives investigations that I can recommend to anyone training in the field of explosives, then it is without a doubt Forensic Investigation of Explosions. The book not only accompanies the beginner through the history of explosives and explosives investigations, but serves as a great tool for seasoned investigators, scientists, and bomb technicians as the world of explosives investigations evolves."
—Melanie Brochu, B.Sc. RCMP Forensic Specialist (Explosives), Ottawa, Ontario
