Default Books about the theory and chemistry behind explosives

Anyone actually know of some 600+ or 1000+ university level books that actually cover the theory and chemistry behind explosives. I'm somewhat looking more toward a chemical approach, and then the physical outcome.

Is this stuff pretty much not made or banned?

This looks good, but it doesn't have a lot of pages:

Organic Chemistry of Explosives (Hardcover)
by Jai Prakash Agrawal (Author), Robert Hodgson (Author)

Urbański, Tadeusz. Chemistry and technology of explosives / by Tadeusz Urbanski. 1964


~ 600 pages+

There is more than one volume, though. So it would probably amount to 2400 pages worth of reading. That's pretty technical, and that's what I'm looking toward.

Anyone else have some ideas?

Yeah, "the chemistry of powder and explosives" is pretty good, entry level, easy to understand.
And pretty much what you're interested in, obviously

T. L. Davis did "The Chemistry of Powder and Explosives"... (COPAE)

Someone else did the technology one...

Urbanski wrote technology

I did not know there was a similar book with power in the title

As information source, Fedoroff's Encyclopedia of Explosives and Related Items has a little bit of everything. Lots about theory and chemistry, but inconveniently. It is an encyclopedia for reference, not a textbook fer lernin the younguns. But it is more than just individual compositions and military applications. Sometimes it goes into more detail than other books for a specific topic of interest.

I have this book and it seems to be mostly of historical value i.e. it covers alot of about the chemistry of explosives no longer in use, either because they were too dangerous for what they were intended or because there is something bigger or better these days. It has a bit of organic chem and chemical structures and that sort of thing which I dont know much about but I was able to take away alot otherwise.
