A result of tests at Frankfort Arsenal, this book provides an in-depth look at how and why improvised shaped charges can be the most effective against armored targets. The construction of improvised shaped charges using Coke bottles, martini glasses, and wine bottles is covered, along with photographic evidence of the effectiveness of these charges. Even today, it represents state-of-the-art demolitions technology at its best. 51/2x81/2, softcvr, 28 pgs, illus.
