The Longest Walk: The World of Bomb Disposal

Rating:
Summary: A walk on the 'wild side'
Review: An excellent first person treatise on the most delicate of subjects, Public Safety Bomb Disposal. While not revealing anything of an operational or technical nature, so as not to tip the hand to the bombers, the author leads us through a whirlwind tour of many places angels fear to tread. Chock full of details of the fight to keep the streets of Northern Ireland among other places, safe to travel, there are few slow points in the text. An excellent read, looking forward to volume two!

Summary: A memorial to those who took the longest walk one way.
Review: The never-before-told history of bomb disposal in the british military and police forces. Related in a highly professional manner. The author has peeled off the thin skin of smoke from a subject rarely revealed in book format while not revealing any tricks of the trade which would assist potential bomb makers. Worth a TEN star rating alone as a silent salute to all those bomb techs who died in the line of duty. Highly recommended reading. A challenge to other authors to help tell the full story of explosive ordnance disposal. Bravo Zulu Peter Birchall.
