520 1  "In this title, A.R. Oppenheimer tells how the Irish 
       Republican Army became the most adept and experienced 
       insurgency group the world has ever seen through their 
       bombing expertise - and how, after generations of conflict,
       it all came to an end. The book is a comprehensive account
       of more than 150 years of Irish republican strategic, 
       tactical, and operational details, and analysis of the 
       IRA's mission, doctrine, targeting, and acquisition of 
       weapons and explosives. As a leading expert on non-
       conventional weapons and explosives, Oppenheimer vividly 
       presents the story behind the bombs - those who built and 
       deployed them; those who had to deal with and dismantle 
       them; and those who suffered or died from them. He 
       analyses where, how, and why the IRA's 19,000 bombs were 
       built, targeted and deployed and explores what the IRA was
       hoping to accomplish in its unrivalled campaign of 
       violence and insurgency through covert acquisition, 
       training, intelligence and counter-intelligence." 
       "Beginning with the Fenian 'Dynamiters' in the second half
       of the nineteenth century, Oppenheimer fully describes and
       assesses the impact of the pre-1970s bombing campaigns in 
       Northern Ireland and England and the evolution of 
       strategies and tactics during the Troubles. He concludes 
       with the decommissioning of an arsenal big enough to arm 
       several battalions - which included an entire home-crafted
       missile system, an unsurpassed range of improvised 
       explosive devices (IEDs), and enough explosives to blow up
       several urban centres. The author scrutinises the level of
       deadly improvisation that became the hallmark of the 
       Provisional IRA's expertise and ingenuity in its 
       pioneering IED timing, delay and disguise technologies, 
       and follows the arms race it carried on with the British 
       Army and security services in a long war of mutual assured
       disruption. He also provides an insight into the bombing 
       equipment and guns in the vast IRA inventory held at Irish
       Police HQ in Dublin."--Jacket.
