A lengthy, detailed, but often horribly inaccurate guide to making bombs. Included are a wide variety of practical hints on how to get the chemicals required to make said bombs, by buying household chemicals, or breaking into chemistry labs. Some of the info in this book is technically accurate, something I can vouch to from personal knowledge, research in more reliable sources, and experience. However, most of the stuff on high explosives is at least slightly wrong, and besides, making high explosives is dangerous and illegal, so don't try it at home. However, as the original author insisted, it was only writtern for educational purposes, so here it is;
