Product Description
This book earns the title! Over the course of 172 pages, I have taken all of the great material in the first edition and added to it a series of recipes and procedures which produce military grade explosives from commonplace items and materials. In doing so, I conclusively prove that the restrictions which have been placed upon the access to the commercially produced explosives which were so freely available in my youth are all futile. The real enemies in "the war on terror" are not inanimate objects such as explosives. The real enemies are the politicians who have flung open our borders to infiltration by Moslem guerrillas. These guerrillas are already well versed in the techniques of improvised weaponry manufacture. This treasure trove of explosive information features The Hardware Store Nitro Recipe, Fuel/Air Explosives, military equivalent ammonium nitrate formulations, nitromethane mixtures, and a vastly improved detonator section. The expose`of the folly of our present policies doesn't stop there either! Read all about the construction of remote control cruise missiles and RC torpedoes. Claymore mines and air cannons add spice to the stew. Then top it all off with my commentary on the easiest ways to obtain all the materials mentioned in the book. I've read all the books on the topic of explosives from tiny paperbacks to 600 page texts written by PhDs. I have no hesitation saying this book tops them all! It's my hope that when you finish reading this book, politicians will no longer be able to fool or distract you by blaming an inanimate object such as explosives for the direct results of their disastrous policies. |

A serious explosives book by Richard Gregory (Three Rivers, Michigan)  5 Stars
October 31, 2008
After i read this book i had the feeling like i finally had read a no nonsense book about the manufacture of explosives. Compared to the Improvised Munitions books Uncle Festers book blows it out of the water. Again this is a very serious and precise book. Educational wise this book gets a A in how this stuff really works.
Only beef with it is that there wasn't enough pics for my taste but thats a small matter when considering the text is spot on.
Get this book if you have a interest in explosives but don't try any off it period.

Cool but needs more pictures to show each stage. by Cheshire Cat (Lansing, MI USA)  3 Stars
September 07, 2008
I don't have the time to do any of the stuff in this book, but from two semesters of chemistry in college, most of it looks authentic. I wish he would add more chemical equations as well as visual diagrams or pictures. Also, he needs to get an editor, because his writing skills and formatting wouldn't pass highschool. A short summary of all the steps of each product would also serve as a good recipe list for someone actually making these products. Also, maybe he could add thermite, as I hear that is not illegal (not explosive) but it's destructive power as well as usefulness (some places use it for welding) would make it an excellent topic.

WOW THIS IS WOW by E.J.M. 5 Stars
March 07, 2008
i bought this book wondering how good it really was in the start but taking note from the reviews of this book i kinda knew what i was in for in getting this. THIS IS THE MAN, THE UNCLE FESTER. In reading all that i have so far i am shocked, almost to the point of hitting the floor. in the time that i have worked in the pyrotechnics field i have picked up a few things but not all that is in this book, knowing all that is in here makes me happy i got this book seeing as i am sure some time that it will be taken off the market due to all that is in this book.

fascinating read by Napalm113 (Camp Lejeune NC) 5 Stars
February 24, 2006
I highly recommend this book for any one in military or law enforcement. Understanding how explosives are made helps you recognize the signs of some one making explosives. Who knew you could use stump remover, drain cleaner, and drug store glycerin to make nitro glycerin? Along with a $200 chemestry set as well.

practical and usefull by Peter Goossens (Belgium) 5 Stars
October 17, 2004
this book really has all you need to become a conoisseur of the finer explosives. It covers everything from material choice, recipes for the main high explosives through to detonators, safety and storage tips. Each recipe also includes a very good explanation on how to procure certain of the chemicals needed without leaving a paper trail 5 miles long. I can say from personal experience that these recipes do indeed work, and with a bit of creative chemistry one could convert these recipes to work with some of your day to day bathroom, tool shed or cleaning products to produce some crude yet effective explosives(I have succeeded in this without any chemical experience whatsoever).
the book gives an insight that explosives are within the grasp of any DIY terrorist with even half a decent brain.
learn how to protect yourself from them, BUY THIS BOOK!
