Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-20 00:00:00 Luke Hunter A light and enjoyable read but not the text book I thought it might be. Lots of background history about the companies that made the explosives to the detriment of discussion about the explosives themselves. Did not mention some fundamental physics of explosives (e.g. Deflagration/Detonation) and no mention of liquid or fuel/air explosives. Overall a good introduction to those who nothing about explosives.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-11 00:00:00 Nate Myers A thousand year history of the invention and implementation of exothermic chemical reactions from gunpowder to use in nuclear weapons. It is chock full of little details on how and what types of gunpowder and subsequent types of explosives were developed from dynamite to nitroglycerin. There is tables in the back of the book that shows the chemical composition and reaction formula for those types of explosives. Highly recommended for those who have a interest in chemistry and exothermic fast reactions!
