His autobiographical work begins with an introduction to explosives, a discussion of the differentiating factors between types of explosives, and a brief history of the use of explosives in war. The rest of the work contains a number of brief anecdotes about Maxim's experiences with explosives throughout his life and career. Many of these anecdotes include outdated and offensive language to describe the race and gender of the individuals discussed. Some of these stories also contain graphic descriptions of injuries and death due to explosives.
