The book examines their identification, detection, and avoidance, as well as the theory behind their operation. It explores current trends in IED deployment, their use in Iraq against military and civilian personnel, and their use in other parts of the world. It also covers wounding effects associated with IEDs and other explosive devices. Tables provide information on explosive detonation velocities, evacuation distances, blast damage estimations, blast pressure effects on structures, and blast pressure effects on people.
