3-2-1- Bomb Gone : Fighting terrorist bombers in Northern Ireland

The story of forty years of terrorist bombings in Ulster - and of the often fatal risks run by the brave men who battled the bombers. In today’s terror infested world, this expert inside view by Britain’s top bomb disposal officer, is vital reading.

Written soon after the Good Friday agreement brought a halt to forty years of violence in Ulster, this book by the current commander of the British services’ bomb disposal school who was himself a bomb-disposal operator in Belfast at the height of the troubles, is an expert accont of a distressing but increasingly familiar subject : how to counter the phenomenon of the terrorist bomb which continues to create misery and mayhem around the world. The book tells the story of brave men who with cool courage struggled to defuse terroist bombs - sometimes with fatal results to themselves. It is also the story of competing technology - the increasingly sophisticated methods employed by the bombers, and the counter-measures used by those who fight them. At a time when, sadly, the international ‘war on terror’ is far from over, this book - with an extensive range of photographs - is indispensible reading.
