Essential chemistry for understanding explosive power and safety Discover the foundational ideas behind military explosives and how chemists explain their behavior in real-world use.
This edition compiles a practical overview of the principles of chemistry as they relate to explosive materials. It combines simple explanations with laboratory demonstrations and notes on how these ideas apply to equipment, storage, and handling in the field. The text also surveys the substances commonly used to make explosives and outlines the rules governing their use and transport.
- Learn the core forms of matter, basic reactions, and the law of stoichiometry in accessible terms.
- Explore substances essential to explosives, from nitrates to charcoal and organic compounds.
- Understand safety, storage, and handling practices, including general precautions for high explosives.
- See how explosions are studied through service tests and the implications for field use.
Ideal for readers of historical military science, engineering students, and professionals seeking a grounded, non-speculative view of explosive chemistry and its practical applications in the early 20th century.
