Reviews / Votes
"The design of the book was to be a primer for the First Responder in aiding them to identify explosive and chemical weapons. Mr. Crippin has more than accomplished his goal. ...The book is 'Field Ready', i.e., it is bound in such a manner (spiral binding) that allows it to be useful in the field as a working text and not a cumbersome reference book. The glossary itself serves as an easily followed self teaching guide about explosives and chemical weapons. ...This book definitely will serve the purpose of aiding the First Responder to make better decisions in the field and save time and hopefully lives."-Jay Tobin, Director of Forensic Sciences Division , Department of Maryland State Police, American Society of Crime Lab Directors Newsletter
