		The incendiary igniter is preferably a fast acting one such that ignition and/or dispense of the incendiary and other contained subpayloads can be accomplished at knowledgeable positions inside the target even though the projectile may be traveling at a high speed within the target.
		The incendiary material can be ignited at the rear of the projectile, the front of the projectile, or at any other location, and an igniter, as differentiated from a fuze that initiates the igniter, can be located on or within the incendiary.
		The incendiary 1214 is an ambient burning incendiary formulation produced by Thiokol, among others, and the exterior of the incendiary 1214 facing the interior of the casing 312 is partially unbonded.

	Incendiary - Chris Cleave
		Incendiary is written in faltering, faux-naïf prose that is sometimes richly sardonic (...) and often disarmingly poignant (.....) Most importantly, writing from a non-literary perspective enables Cleave consistently to find words in situations for which no words may commonly be found" -
		Incendiary is (nominally) an epistolary novel, a woman living in London who has lost her husband and young son to a "9-11"-type terrorist attack telling her story in a letter addressed to Osama bin Laden -- recounting, venting, explaining, looking for catharsis and an end to the horror.
		Worst, finally, is the story itself, and how it unfolds, the focus almost entirely personal, too many of the occurrences unlikely or bizarre, and almost all the potential of this rich material left unused, each promising twist quickly choked off, Cleave preferring to head down yet another dead end.

	Andrew Stuttaford on Incendiary by Chris Cleave on National Review Online
		The rights to Incendiary, his first book, had been snapped up, an unusually large print-run had been prepared, and an extensive promotional campaign was in the works.
		Incendiary was partially inspired by the Madrid bombings and the book's London editor has recalled how the editing process was rushed through before London itself fell victim to an attack.
		There are suggestions of this throughout Incendiary, and they are exacerbated by the way in which Cleave imagines the official response to the suicide attacks in the soccer stadium.

		Structurally, INCENDIARY takes the form of an extended, Dear Osama letter, written over four seasons by an anonymous, lower middle class housewife whose husband (a bomb squad member for the London police) and four-year-old son were killed in a suicide bombing at an Arsenal football match.
		INCENDIARY's heroine married at five months pregnant and is a shameless philanderer, her husband and Jasper drink to excess, Jasper succumbs to a massive cocaine habit, Terence cheats on his wife, and Petra is a soulless bitch in Pradas.
		Incendiary is in the form of a lengthy letter to Osama Bin Laden by the woman whose son and husband were recently killed in a major terrorist attack.

		Napalm is an incendiary mixture of benzene, gasoline and polystyrene.
		The denial by the US DOD was issued on the technical basis that the incendiaries used consisted primarily of kerosene-based jet fuel (which has a smaller concentration of benzene), rather than the traditional mixture of gasoline and benzene used for napalm, and that these therefore did not qualify as napalm.

	Incendiary by Chris Cleave: Reviews
		It may have been Cleave's intention to portray a decadent Western society as a legitimate target for satire, if not for terrorism, but the result is an emotional void at the core of the novel.
		Like other ambitious volumes in the rising tower of post-9/11 novels, Incendiary struggles to both chronicle a personal ordeal and make a grandiose statement about the world today, and succeeds at neither.
		This cry of pain -- which is rendered in genuinely heartfelt, heartbreaking terms -- quickly gives way, however, to a long, chatty, sometimes hysterical reminiscence about the narrator's life, in which she treats Osama as a sort of psychiatrist-cum-father confessor.

		But if Incendiary, or any book, is to survive such relevance, to walk unscathed, as it were, from the scene of the disaster, it is for the traditional reason that a book has more to say than a bomb.
		Her story is not only that of the immediate victims but also that of those who are left behind: the stoic commuters of July 7, ordinary people facing a long walk home.
		Enduring alike the excesses of our post 9/11, post 7/7 world and those of the story in which she finds herself, the unnamed "I" of Incendiary is a true survivor.

		Incendiary is written in faltering, faux-naïf prose that is sometimes richly sardonic ("The middle classes put up web sites about us.
		If you're interested Osama just look up chav pikey ned or townie in Google") and often disarmingly poignant: "I'm going to write to you about the emptiness that was left behind when you took my boy away.
		Either way it seems likely that the book will get noticed for all the wrong reasons; it would be good to consider that it signals the arrival of a writer who may be worthy of attention for all the right reasons as well.

	'Incendiary': Dear Osama - New York Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Thus ''Incendiary'' achieved instant notoriety in England: Cleave was interviewed on the radio; his thoughts on the terror attacks were printed in newspapers; the book itself made headlines.
		Witness the poetic whimsy when she describes the smell of her son's room -- the smell of boy -- as ''a cross between angels and tigers.'' Or when she imagines the end of the world as a time when ''the sun and the stars burned out like cheap light bulbs.''
		Contrary to its own contrivances, ''Incendiary'' is best when Cleave forgets all about his framing device and his narrator and writes, in simple, vivid journalistic style, about the imagined aftermath of the terrorist attack: the use of barrage balloons over London, the horrors of a city curfew and the suspension of civil liberties for Muslims.

		Background: Napalm, invented by Fieser in 1942, is an incendiary substance made by the simple procedure of adding a "gelling" powder, composed of naphthenate and palmitate (hence "napalm"), to gasoline in varying concentrations to form a sticky, combustible substance.
		In fact, ignition requires the use of trinitrotoluene (TNT) to explode and ignite white phosphorus, the ignited temperature of which is high enough to result in the combustion of napalm.
		Napalm B provided the United States with an incendiary substance with enhanced stability and controllability and as such, became the weapon of choice during the Vietnam War.

	'Incendiary' by Chris Cleave reviewed on official website of Laura Hird
		I want to be the last mother in the world who ever has to write you a letter like this.”So begins Chris Cleave’s first novel, Incendiary, a stunning mixture of mind-numbing carnage, anger, humor, sexual tension, betrayal and twisted bureaucratic logic.
		Cleave’s distraught protagonist, identified only by her nickname Petal, is a working-class housewife who loses her husband and only child in a terrorist-triggered chain of suicide bombs set off in an overflowing London soccer stadium.
		Incendiary, completed before the recent London bombings, is a brilliantly conceived book that uncannily captures the impact of terrorism on everyday working-class life.
