Lecker Seymour. Incendiaries: Advanced Improvised Explosives

Paladin Press, 1988. — 54 p. — ISBN: 978-0873644839 (hardcover).Fire has a long history of use by terrorists and saboteurs because of its potential for major destruction from minor effort. Pound for pound, incendiaries can do more damage than explosives, if properly used. Arson has also proven itself as an effective psychological weapon, playing upon man's ancient awe and fear of fire, the time lag between the start of the fire and the destruction of the target can be an advantage in certain operations.
In this third volume of the Advanced Improvised Explosives series, author Seymour Lecker details the use of widely used, relatively inexpensive industrial chemicals that burn with intense heat. Also included is information on oxidizers and ignition devices, safety and health hazards, and a useful glossary of chemical terms.
Warning: incendiary devices have the potential to be more dangerous for the maker than the intended target, and the use of proper safeguards and restraints is essential. This manual is presented for information purpose only.
