Forget about nuclear missiles, the decisive weapon of the twentieth century is the car bomb. We now know you can defeat a superpower, start a civil war, or just blow up your own government with a trunkload of homemade explosives and a battered old car. From the Middle East to Oklahoma, Afghanistan, and most recently New York's Times Square, the car bomb has shaped human conflict. Ex-CIA agent Robert Baer uncovers the history of this extraordinary weapon for the first time.
