The Lighter Side of Bomb Disposal is a collection of stories based on author Richard Ruef's time in the U.S. Army as an Explosives Ordnance Disposal Specialist, with the exact locations and names of people changed. Most of the stories are humorous but poke fun at himself, not at EOD or the U.S. Army.
The Lighter Side of Bomb Disposal was written because the world needs more humor in it. Even the bomb squad has its lighter moments in between the drama.
