Just what I needed while I was doing some research for my book. That and I wanted a reference manual in order to defend my bunker from the invading horde... from D.C. If you didn't serve it's a little hard to understand but once you grasp how the military formatted the book the book it proves to be quite useful

5.0 out of 5 stars DEMOLITIONS FROM THE MILITARY PERSPECTIVE
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013
Verified Purchase
A TYPICAL MILITARY MANUAL FOR DEMOLITIONS THAT COVERS A MULTITUDE OF TPYES OF DEMOLITIONS. AS WITH MOST MILIATRY TEXT ONE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT CONSEVATISM IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. WIEGTHS OF EXPLOSIVES USED ARE ALWAYS MORE THAN THOSE DETERMINED BY MORE ACADEMIC CALCULATIONS.A GOOD REFERENCE TEXT.

Ottimo libro, spiega molto bene come trattare, preparare gli esplosivi e le eventuali mine da usare per le demolizioni. Anche se di vecchia pubblicazione è ancora aggiornato e utilizzabile oltre che utile
