Explosive : bringing the world's deadliest bombers to justice / Cliff Todd. - London : Headline, 2022. - 339 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 20 cm.
Includes index.
This is life at the front line, or fractionally behind it, of an explosive expert who played a pivotal role in the investigation of the most significant bombings in mainland Britain and elsewhere during the course of three turbulent decades. For 15 years, Cliff Todd was the principal forensic investigator at the UK's Forensic Explosives Laboratory, a clandestine agency whose role is to support the police and the security services in their investigations into bombings of any kind - whether it be the IRA, ISIS, or political extremists. Here he lifts the lid on his specialist world, guiding us through the process by which he and his colleagues worked out how bombs were built, what made them unique, and which clues led to their creators.
