Police Rescue & Bomb Disposal: An Extraordinary History tells the remarkable story of an elite unit that has protected public safety for more than 75 years. This history book explores the dedication, courage and extraordinary work of the NSW Police Rescue and Bomb Disposal Unit, whose members face some of the most dangerous and challenging situations imaginable.
From recovering bodies from cliffs and rescuing people trapped in vehicle wrecks to disarming explosive devices, the book highlights the nerves of steel, compassion and commitment required of police rescue operators and bomb technicians.
Drawing on extensive interviews and official documents, the story traces the unit’s history from its origins during World War II through major Australian events including the Granville train disaster, the Newcastle earthquake, the Thredbo landslide and the Lindt Café siege. Featuring many previously unseen images, this compelling account serves as a tribute to the dedication and sacrifices of these highly skilled professionals.
