Imagine that you are in following situation: yourcounuy has
the
been invaded by a foreign military power. Foreign tropso ocuc py
the cities and the capitol; a puppet government rules in the name
of the invaders. Citizens have subjected to mass searches and
been
arrests. The invaders confiscate radios, weapons, batteries and
anything else which may be used to chalel nge their domination.
Spies, informers and undercover security agents are everywhere.
Those who !!.-peak out, however innocently, against the repression
disappear without a trace.
Another situation: your counuy is ruled by an oppressive and
totalitarian dictatorship. The means of communication-press,
radio, television-are controlled by the regime. The Constitution
is suspended; elections are fraudulent or nonexistent. Freoed ms
are restricted. Critics of the regime vanish in the night.
these situations, what would you do? Would you simply
In
accept your position and carry on as best as you can? Would you
hope and wish that the situation will somehow change of itself?
will you take action and fight back, to overthrow the regime
Or
or to expel the invaders?
This manual is forthese last persons, who are determined to fight
for their freedom. It is for those ordinary citizens who, having
decided that the regime must go, work to remove in only
it the
way that remains available to them-anned insurrection.
This manual is a description of means which can be used to
the
carry out that struggle. Since the military forces of the regime are
strong and the military power of the population weak, the
is
resistance ne work must adopt the trategy of the guenilla; lighbl
t s
ing "hit and run" attacks, striking repeatedly and vanishing, leav
ing the regime stung, bewildered and demoralized.

The wars in isolated,
rugged areas, in mountains or jungles which provide safe
sanctuaries for fighters. In modem industrialized states such

the strategy
will fail. Since the regime's economic political
military, and
resources are concentrated in the cities, the resistance fighters
must be "urban guerrillas," cariryng out their fight in the cement
jungles of urbanized areas. It is through urban warfare that the
the
regime can be toppled.
