Description

Among military weapons, there is an entire category of devices that are designed to operate surreptitiously: apparently harmless objects that become lethal when someone disturbs or approaches them. Alongside numerous illustrations of booby traps, mines, delayed-action devices and mobile charges, Ian Jones details the development of this destructive type of weapon, as well as the experts attempts to disarm them, from the First World War to Vietnam.
