Bomb and mine disposal officers

What qualities does it take to walk up to an unexploded bomb or mine, completely alone while everyone else has taken cover? The rise of terrorism in the 21st Century and the evolution of car bombs and other improvised explosive devices mean that bomb disposal officers are in high demand.

This book looks at the bomb disposal officer; a day in the life of an officer; training; types of device; the history of bomb disposal from WW1 to the present day in Iraq, Israel, and Afghanistan.
