Book excerpt: War has always provided a stimulus to technological development, and throughout the twentieth century this new technology was harnessed to produce increasingly deadly and malicious types of explosives in the form of booby traps, mines, delayed-action devices and mobile charges. Designed, constructed or adopted to kill or injure, these lethal mechanisms function when a person disturbs or approaches a seemingly harmless object or performs an apparently safe act. In other instances they are set off by remote control or automatically after a lapse of time. Fully illustrated with diagrams and photographs, Malice Aforethought traces the design, deployment and effectiveness of these deadly devices throughout both world wars to the Vietnam War. Expertly and compellingly written, this unique study is a tribute to the brave men who risked their lives daily to neutralise the booby traps laid in the dimly lit dugouts of the Western Front, on the beaches of Normandy, or in the dark and dangerous tunnels of Chu Chi.

Book excerpt: This War Office pamphlet, issued in 1952 at the dawn of the Cold War, updates one issued ten years earlier at the star of the Second World War. Its purpose is to introduce soldiers to booby trap bombs ('a cunning contrivance') commonly used by the British army - and to warn them against similar devices set by the enemy. The devices described and illustrated are of four basic types: a 'Pull' type - triggered by the pulling of a trip wire; 'Push' types, triggered by the application of pressure such as a foot stepping on a plunger; 'Release' devices triggered by the lifting of an apparently harmless object; and 'Delayed' devices, triggered by some form of automatic delayed mechanism - ranging from a few hours to several days. This is a concise but comprehensive guide to what it calls 'lethal practical jokes' designed to impede and delay the enemy.

Download or read book World War II Axis Booby Traps and Sabotage Tactics written by Gordon L. Rottman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Booby traps laid by troops in war zones in World War II are largely neglected in histories and memoirs, and rarely examined in detail. Yet for a soldier, the threat of booby traps had to be at the forefront of his mind, and an ability to find and disarm them was essential. This is the first comprehensive study of World War II's battlefield booby traps, using information from rare wartime intelligence publications to identify, illustrate and describe the tactics of both Allied and Axis saboteurs. Examining all aspects of this secretive subject, from the equipment used to the techniques of placing and finding them, this book uncovers the daily risks faced by soldiers on the ground through the course of the war.

This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Churchill's directive to 'set occupied Europe ablaze,' the SOE and later its American sister organization, the OSS, were deployed across the continent.
