Product Description

From the Author
A book based on personal experience
Back when I was in college, my favorite hobby was to cook explosives and make them go BOOM! Hence my nick name Uncle Fester. This book is very strong on the details of making these explosives, and a little short on detonation systems, as my favorite way to detonate my home cooked explosives was to whack them with a ham- mer, or set them off with an M-80. Per- haps in a later edition I will cover in more detail the construction of detonation systems for these explosives. My interest back in college was just to watch it go off, not to do damage. If your interests are similar there is no better book to guide you to the pleasures to be had with high performance explosives. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncle Fester, you da Uncle, 5 Jul 2004
This guy knows what he is one about. Safety tips are a plenty in here, as well a many informative sections of the book that are generally about explosives. Detenators, mixtures, applications, its all in here.

A very handy, small book, that anyone wishing to learn about High Explosivce should not be without.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are nuts, then this book is for you!, 17 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Why anyone would be stupid enough to even think about doing something as dangerous as making there own explosives is completely beyond me.

However, if you are such a person, then this book will show you the safest(but still VERY DANGEROUS) way to do it. I bought this book because I was writting a novel about some terrorists. It was very useful for that purpose. It is very clear and detailed, and it emphasises safety at every point.

3.0 out of 5 stars i wouldnt bother, 3 Feb 2007
By P. Forster - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Home Workshop ? The reciepes in this book are about as homemade as the atom bomb. This book is great if you had availablity to the type of chemicls featured in this book but you dont anymore as this was written in the early 70's. If you can get hold of rare and dangerous chemicals then go for it but if you cant like me, then i would stick with anarchist cookbook or something similar. This book is miles away from easily accessible materials such as potassium, black powder and petrol, so if you cant get any of those then you havent got a chance at making any of the explosives in this book.
