| guerilla warfare handbook: U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook U.S. Department of the Army, 2009-01-27 They can be swift, silent, and deadly. That's why armed guerrillas are feared by even the largest, best-equipped fighting forces. No tank, rocket-propelled grenade, or infantry battalion can match the guerrilla team's ability to exact brutality with precision, instill fear in enemy hearts, and viciously deflate morale. From the snows of Korea to the jungles of Southeast Asia to the mountains of Afghanistan, the U.S. Army has employed guerrilla tactics to deadly effect. Those tactics and techniques, being used today by U.S. soldiers, are laid out in the U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook. Employing small, heavily-armed, and well-oiled fire teams, guerrilla warfare has played an invaluable role in the success of nearly every U.S. campaign for decades. Here, its methods are detailed: raids and ambushes, demolition, counterintelligence, mining and sniping, psychological warfare, communications, and much more. This is an inside look at the guerrilla strategies and weapons that have come to be feared by enemies and respected by allies. Not another outside perspective or commentary on unconventional warfare, this is the original—of use to soldiers in the field and to anyone with an interest in military tactics. |
| guerilla warfare handbook: Total Resistance Hans von Dach, 2024-08 Total Resistance: The Swiss Army Guide to Guerrilla Warfare and Underground Operations Originally published in 1965, the Panther Publications English translation of Swiss Army Major Hans von Dach's classic Der totale Widerstand brings one of the most influential guerrilla manuals back into print in its original format, right down to the distinctive red covers of the Panther Publications first printing. Universally known as being more complete than the later Paladin Press editions which have been widely reproduced, this edition is the best translation available.

This translation preserves the detailed tactics and strategies that made the original a vital resource during the Cold War. With chapters covering everything from creating sabotage cells and conducting ambushes to psychological warfare and intelligence gathering, Total Resistance remains a cornerstone in the study of unconventional warfare. Over the decades, von Dach's manual has been both revered and controversial, influencing resistance movements across the globe. Its use by various insurgent groups during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as its relevance in modern conflict zones, underscores the enduring importance of this text. This edition is perfect for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the principles of asymmetric warfare. Whether you're studying the Cold War era, exploring military strategy, or looking for insights into modern resistance movements, Total Resistance offers a wealth of knowledge on the power of civilian-based defense.

| guerilla warfare handbook: The Hồ Chi Minh Guerilla Warfare Handbook David G. Yurth, 2015 We already have the technologies and means for solving all of these problems: * Converting sea water to fresh water without burning fuels or creating pollution * Providing virtually infinite power without burning any fuels at all * Erasing CO2 as an exhaust gas at the source * Remediating radioactive emissions from spent nuclear fuels * Eliminating virally-caused cancers and other biocidic pathogens without surgery, radiation or pharmaceutical interventions * Growing organic, non-GMO food without the use of herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers If we know how to solve these problems, why haven't we done it? What stands between the problem and the solution? More than 50 years ago, an aging oriental man dressed in black pajamas, leading a rag-tag army of peasants and partisans, booted the French colonial army out of his country by out-thinking and strategically exhausting them. How he managed to drive both the colonial armies of the French and the invading forces of America and its allies out of Vietnam represents a case study with far reaching strategic implications for those of us who are faced with the challenges of managing the deployment of potentially disruptive technological innovations. The right to control global social, economic and political engineering is the battlefield on which today's most important wars are being fought. In this book, David Yurth distills some of H Chi Minh's strategic thinking and tactical execution into a set of concepts which he believes are universally applicable to the process of technological innovation. |
| guerilla warfare handbook: The Red Army's Do-It-Yourself, Nazi-Bashing Guerrilla Warfare Manual Lester Grau, Michael Gress, 2011-05-28 The WWII Soviet guerilla training manual that became an essential text for freedom fighters across the globe—complete with illustrations. When Germany invaded the Soviet Union during World War II, the Red Army began recruiting local partisans to help mount a resistance. This edition of The Partisan’s Companion is the last and best Red Army manual used to train these men to fight Nazi invaders. Besides field craft, it covers partisan tactics, German counter-guerrilla tactics, demolitions, German and Soviet weapons, scouting, camouflage, anti-tank warfare, and antiaircraft defense for squad and platoon-level instruction. It contains the Soviet lessons of two bitter years of war and provides a good look at the tactics and training of a mature partisan force. While this handbook was a vital part of Soviet victory over the Nazis, its usefulness outlived the Second World War. It was later used to train guerrilla groups in the developing world during their wars of national liberation in the 1950s–70s. Even the fedayeen guerrillas who fought US and coalition forces in Iraq relied on this manual for training, tactics, and general approach to combat. A selection of the Military Book Club. |
| guerilla warfare handbook: Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla Carlos Marighella, 2021-03-09 Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla is a call to action, no matter how small. It is a small book which gives advice on how to overthrow an authoritarian regime, aiming at revolution. Minimanual was written to be concise and and to describe the ways for successful revolution. This book has been fought over to keep in print time and time again after being banned in multiple countries, and while there are a few copies consistently recurring in print today, we wish to spread this important revolutionary text further. Eliminating its copyright. Do not let this minimanual be an isolated event, share it, keep it in your pocket to read, and spread it. If you have the means, print it from home as well from our zine library. |

| guerilla warfare handbook: Notes on Guerrilla War Col. Virgil Ney, 2017-01-12 This book on Guerrilla War, by an American Officer, a student of and an operator in the field of Unconventional Warfare, is most opportune and timely. For the first time, in many instances Principles are identified and explained by historical examples. Colonel Ney holds to the belief that AMERICANS have a tradition of successful GUERRILLA WAR operations from the earliest days of the Nation’s history. Rogers, Marion, Boone, Mosby, Morgan, Quantrill, Ferguson, Andrews, Mackenzie, Funston, Pershing, McCoy, Fertig, Volckmann, Blackburn, Parker, Praeger, Calyer, McGee, Cushing, Anderson, Calvert, Ramsey, Straughn, Thorp, McLish, Childress, Lapham, Barnett: these and others have led or countered GUERILLAS. MARX did not invent GUERRILLA WAR, it was a military phenomenon centuries before his birth; but it has been seized and converted into a comfortable vehicle of Cold-War combat by International Communism. To defeat it, we must know what it is and how it works; to wage it we must understand its PRINCIPLES. That is why this book was written! |

| guerilla warfare handbook: The Red Army Guerrilla Warfare Pocket Manual, 1943 Lester Grau, Michael Gress, 2019-11-19 The indispensable guerilla warfare manual, first developed by the Russian military during WWII—with a thorough introduction on its legendary history. During the Second World War, the Red Army developed The Partisan's Companion to train Soviet guerillas to fight Nazi invaders It contains the Soviet lessons of two bitter years of war, covering field craft, guerilla tactics, German counter-guerrilla tactics, demolitions, German and Soviet weapons, scouting, camouflage, anti-tank warfare and anti-aircraft defense for squad and platoon-level instruction. It proved so effective that it was later used to train Third World guerrillas in their wars of national liberation during the 1950s–70s, and even the Fedayeen guerrillas who fought US and coalition forces in Iraq. The Soviet partisans moved and lived clandestinely, harassed the enemy, and supported the Red Army through reconnaissance and attacks on German supply lines. They clearly frustrated German logistics and forced the Germans to periodically sideline divisions for rear-area security. The partisans and their handbook were a vital part of the eventual Soviet victory over Germany. This pocket manual puts The Partisan's Companion in context, explaining its importance. |
| guerilla warfare handbook: U.S. Army Counterguerrilla Operations Handbook United States. Department of the Army, 2004 The Army's official handbook on how to fight guerrilla insurgencies. The U.S. Army has studied every condition under which it may be called into action, and the possibility of a guerrilla insurgency is no exception. As many have noted, the United States military will likely engage in more small- and medium- scale hostilities against guerrillas than in classic Cold War European Theater scenarios. Available here for the first time is the Army's official document on guerrilla insurgencies-such as the insurgency in Iraq-and how to deal with them. The U.S. Army Counterguerrilla Operations Handbook identifies what constitutes an insurgency, the conditions that foster insurgencies, likely insurgents, and the overall goals of insurgent groups. It then goes on to describe in detail the specifics of how to overcome guerrilla operations in conventional and unconventional conflicts, including: Vulnerable populations Offensive and defensive operations How to counter common guerrilla tactics Reconnaissance, surveillance, and intelligence Tunnel combat and hit-and-run ambushes Smoke, flame, herbicides, and riot control agents Civil disturbances and searches Psychological operations In addition, the handbook describes how strategic and political considerations can outweigh military considerations, and gives guidance on when the military's mission is accomplished. |

| guerilla warfare handbook: Guerrilla Warfare Bert 'Yank' Levy, 2008-11-06 1941. Britain is under some of the heaviest air raids of the Second World War. Concerns about Nazi paratroopers landing in Britain and invading take hold in the hearts of the British citizenry. The Home Guard has been mobilised to defend against airborne assault – and it needs training. ‘Yank’ Levy is brought in to Osterley Park to teach guerrilla warfare, from practical experience in the Spanish Civil War. ‘Yank’ trains soldiers of the Home Guard how to use surveillance, defend against tanks and armoured vehicles, how to fight in towns and across country and against a well-supplied, highly-trained and mobile occupying force. His book, Guerrilla Warfare offers such sound advice as: ‘Whether you go to a tea-party or to work on your allotment...take your rifle with you. Don’t leave it downstairs for a German to grab if he enters the house’ and 'Your motto should always be: ‘Finish them! Then a quick get-away, and another ambush some place else’’ |

| guerilla warfare handbook: The Art of Guerrilla Warfare J. J. Tucker, 2017-04-18 THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS BOOK! A timeless piece that would undoubtedly disrupt the plans of any authoritarian regime. The Art of Guerrilla Warfare is a must read for anyone interested in military strategy. A book that would make the great Sun Tzu proud. Fighting a superior foe is a momentous task. There are many ways it can be done, there are many ways victories can be achieved. In war, there are no rules, there are no laws, there are only strategies and tactics. Many say what they would do in the face of tyranny, many know what they should do when the powerful become predators. A divided people can be isolated and devoured. Survival depends upon the masses forming one mind. There is no time to weigh the importance of morality as the devil approaches. To even question any tactics that lead to victory is foolish. There is no need to ponder what the enemy deems acceptable, they occupy the opposite end of the spectrum for a reason. At war with a superior force, one has no choice but to assume the role of the guerrilla. Note: 2nd Edition refers to ebook being formatted as print replica. Text is similar to first edition. Please choose the edition most suitable for your device |
| guerilla warfare handbook: The Art of Guerrilla Warfare Colin Gubbins, 2016-05-15 Gubbins argued that for guerrilla warfare to succeed it needed daring leadership and a sympathetic population. In his pamphlets he provided practical information on how to organize a road ambush, how to immobilize a railway engine and how to kill the enemy. By the outbreak of the Second World War Gubbins had reached the rank of brigadier. He joined the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and in November 1940 was appointed director of operations and training. |

| guerilla warfare handbook: The Guerrilla Sniper Tactics Handbook Roy A. Woodall, Jr., 2016-06-28 A sniper has a dangerous and difficult job. These individuals are individually selected, trained, and deployed to provide precision rifle fire and gather intelligence for their commander. The use of sniper tactics means ambushing someone from a long distance, using a concealed position, and then using fire discipline to remain undetected. This handbook is the idea of the guerrilla as a revolutionary or partisan using sniper tactics to bring about the defeat of a tyrannical government. Consider that a well aimed shot fired from a hidden location by the guerrilla sniper who is motivated by freedom from tyranny is the nightmare for any military commander. The Guerrilla Sniper Tactics Handbook is the complete guide to tactics, techniques, and procedures for unconventional sniper operations. The guerrilla sniper is the armed answer to the question of tyranny. |

| guerilla warfare handbook: On Guerrilla Warfare Mao Tse-Tung, 2021-02-26 In 1937, Mao was in retreat after ten years of battling the Nationalist troops of Chiang Kai-shek. During this period, he wrote a succinct pamphlet that remains one of the most influential documents on warfare to this date. This treatise, the first systematic analysis of guerilla warfare, established Mao as the architect of a new method of warfare. On Guerrilla Warfare is Mao's case for the extensive use of an irregular form of warfare in which small groups of combatants use mobile military tactics in the forms of ambushes and raids to combat a larger and less mobile formal army. Mao wrote the book in 1937 to convince Chinese political and military leaders that guerilla style-tactics were necessary for the Chinese to use in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The book has since become a classic and should be of interest to anyone who wants to learn about guerilla warfare and how it is effectively conducted, and anyone interested in warfare, terrorism, and revolution in general. |

| guerilla warfare handbook: Practical Guerrilla Warfare R. J. Godlewski, 2015-10-13 This book represents the inaugural volume of the INTEGRATED TACTICAL WARFARE series produced by R.J. Godlewski to teach certain aspects of asymmetrical or fourth-generation warfare to military and security professionals. This series represents the personal views and beliefs of the author and do not necessarily represent the policies of any organization or business affiliated with the author. Nor do any books contained within this series necessarily advocate war or the damage and destruction of property and harming innocent human lives. 'This text exists because all other discussions on guerrilla warfare concentrate on one of three approaches: the historical, the glorifiable, and the descriptive. The first illuminates the broad history of guerrilla warfare within human civilization and, perhaps because of this, most books on the subject remain such historical treatises. The second offering turns renegades and murderers into popular heroes as much as Reconstruction turned Jesse James and Prohibition turned Al Capone into legends. The final group represents those books that possess more photographs and illustrations on how-to wage guerrilla warfare than honest discussion of its existence. There is nothing inherently wrong with this latter offering, rather that governments and other organizations that actively supported irregular warfare in one manner or another prepared most of these books. In other words, bureaucracies produced books on fighting bureaucracies (tyrannical or otherwise).' |

| guerilla warfare handbook: The Handbook of Fifth-Generation Warfare (5gw) Daniel H. Abbott, 2010 The successful application of the Fifth Generation of Warfare (5GW) is indistinguishable from magic (Rees 2009, following in the spirit of Clarke's Law, propounded by the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey) any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic). The Fifth-Generation warrior hides in the shadows, or in the static. So, then, how can analysts and researchers study and discuss 5GW? Other questions also demand answers. What is the xGW framework, which many theorists use to describe 5GW? What alternatives to the xGW framework exist? What 5GWs have been observed? What are the source documents for the xGW framework? What is the universe of discourse that the xGW framework emerged from? Why bother trying to understand 5GW? This handbook attempts to provide systematic answers to these questions in several major sections, each of which is written by many contributors. While this handbook records many different voices of 5GW research, it speaks with one voice on the need to understand 5GW, the fifth gradient of warfare. |
| guerilla warfare handbook: Zimbabwe's Guerrilla War Norma J. Kriger, 2008-07-31 Studies of revolution generally regard peasant popular support as a prerequisite for success. In this study of political mobilization and organization in Zimbabwe's recent rural-based war of independence, Norma Kriger is interested in the extent to which ZANU guerrillas were able to mobilize peasant support, the reasons why peasants participated, and in the links between the post-war outcomes for peasants and the mobilization process. Hers is an unusual study of revolution in that she interviews peasants and other participants about their experiences, and she is able to produce fresh insights into village politics during a revolution. In particular, Zimbabwean peasant accounts direct our attention to the ZANU guerrillas' ultimate political victory despite the lack of peasant popular support, and to the importance that peasants attached to gender, generational and other struggles with one another. Her findings raise questions about theories of revolution. |

| guerilla warfare handbook: The Art of Guerilla Warfare War Office, 1939-05-15 The WWII-era Art of Guerilla Warfare was a short training pamphlet which informed and influenced the guerrilla warfare training programs for: British Independent Companies (Commandos); Home Guard Stay Behind Auxiliaries (Auxunits); Special Operations Executive; Resistance groups in Europe; Australian and New Zealand Independent Companies; Australian Services Reconnaissance Department (Z Special Unit); Allied Intelligence Bureau's Philippines Regional Section; and finally US Office of Strategic Services. The pamphlet details the organisation and conduct of guerrilla warfare in occupied territories, from the establishment of a guerrilla band to intelligence collection and dissemination. It was influenced not only by Colin Gubbins' own experiences in Russia, Ireland and India, but also by his intensive study of guerrilla warfare in general, from the Boer commandos in South Africa during the Boer War, to the guerrilla operations in the Spanish Civil War and the then-ongoing Chinese Civil War and Sino-Japanese war, where Communist leader Mao Tse Tung was using guerrilla tactics to fight both the Chinese Nationalists and the invading Japanese. The Art of Guerilla Warfare and its companion volumes, The Partisan Leader's Handbook and How to Use High Explosives are unique in that they represent the first official British military doctrine on the conduct of guerrilla warfare against an occupying force. This they do in a brief and to the point manner, and if one reads closely, it becomes clear that there is still much wisdom contained within which could be of use to insurgent and counterinsurgent alike in the modern era.

| guerilla warfare handbook: Psychological Operations in Guerilla Warfare John Kirkpatrick, 2020-05 During Nicaragua's civil war in the 1980s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) commissioned a manual for the rebel contras of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN), entitled Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare (Operaciones sicológicas en guerra de guerillas). Its public revelation in October 1984 created a firestorm of controversy.The manual was written by a CIA contract employee who used the alias John Kirkpatrick. He based his work off of existing US Army manuals, particularly the Green Berets' Lesson Plan 643, Armed Psyop (April 1968). Field Manual 30-104, Handbook on Aggressor Insurgent War (September 1967), was another source. These manuals were in turn informed by the Army's study of the doctrine and methods employed by the Viet Cong's Armed Propaganda Teams to build political support.Kirkpatrick worked during the fall of 1983 with the FDN director in charge of communications, Edgar Chamorro, and Chamorro's secretary translated the manuscript into Spanish. The ninety-page manual was printed under the pseudonym Tayacán in late 1983. Two passages were cut out of the printed manual, and replaced by expurgated pages before distribution: one talked about getting demonstrators killed to create martyrs for the cause, the other about hiring professional criminals for special jobs.The full, unexpurgated manual was retranslated into English by Joanne Omang for the Congressional Research Service. |
