Includes extensive FREE excerpt of Bomb Squad NYC Incident 1!
Although it correctly calls itself “concise,” DYNAMITE is in fact the most comprehensive history ever written about the oldest, busiest and most sophisticated bomb squad in the world. For more than 100 years, NYPD bomb techs have combated explosive-related violence and threats, often risking (and sometimes losing) their own lives in the process.
The NYPD Bomb Squad traces its origins to the famous — if short-lived — Italian Squad, which successfully defeated Black Hand extortionists who terrorized Italian immigrants living in New York at the turn of the last century. Its story goes on to include the first large-vehicle bomb on American soil (targeting J.P. Morgan), anarchist bombings, plots by German saboteurs during World War I, the famed Black Tom explosion, the bombing of the 1939 World’s Fair, crimes of the so-called Mad Bomber, IEDs placed by Croatian and Palestinian terrorists, the relentless terror campaign of the FALN, anti-abortion bombings, the first World Trade Center bombing, and the attempted car bombing of Times Square by Islamic radicals.
Beginning in an era of horse-drawn carriages and ending in the Jet Age, DYNAMITE tells the colorful, informative, sometimes macabre, and always heroic story of this elite group of New York’s Finest.

Dynamite A Concise History of the NYPD Bomb Squad eBook JE Fishman Reviews
I was impressed by Fishman's depth of knowledge and his powerful writing. Fishman is a compelling writer and I cannot wait to explore his future work.
I am a fan of police-related books and tv shows/movies. I had read J.E. Fishman's book "A Danger to Himself and Others Bomb Squad NYC Incident 1" and this book came up as a recommendation. I enjoyed learning how NYC's bomb squad has developed over time. Seeing the evolution of the bomb squad makes me realize that the technology has changed but the bravery has not.
I was intrigued by the concept of a concise history of the New York PD bomb squad. J.E. Fishman's treatment of the topic was concise, scholarly and literary, a hard combination to beat. I understand this history is preparatory work for a new series he has in the works that focuses on the bomb squad. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the first book in the series.
Excellent.
While researching for a book I plan to write on terrorism in the financial markets, I came across and read Mr. Fishman's book. It is compelling, informative, and eye-opening, a terrific read especially for anyone interested in New York City history or the workings of its police department. I commend Mr. Fishman for taking the time to write such an important book.
Recently I've purchased all Mr. Fishman's writings including Dynamite through . With my background in law enforcement , I thought the concept of bomb squad history was non existent in book form, until J. E. Fishman's well written and researched Book came out. I'm pleased with the result and wish him luck and look forward to his Bomb Squad NYC book series.
It's unfortunate that no one has reviewed this wonderful as of yet. It's a meticulously written, thoroughly researched examination of the world's first Bomb Squad, that of the NYPD - easily one of the most nerve racking and harrowing assignments that any human being can undertake. It traces the Squad's roots from the most important and influential detective in NYPD, and American history - Joseph Petrosino, who waged a 26 year battle to try to stamp out the Mafia in New York. I've found far too many books like this to rely on erroneous history that is picked up and repeated, and equally as often rendered by a clumsy writer who does disservice to an interesting story. Not so with Fishman he's as fine a writer as he is a researcher, and though this may present itself like a specialized read, anyone with an interest in police procedurals should find it compelling. Bravo.
