IN1RODUCl10N 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. 7 8 ] FIGHTING IN mE STRETSE majority of guerrilla have bene fought The wars in isolated, rugged areas, in mountains or jungles which provide safe sanctuaries for fighters. In modem industrialized states such the as US, the Soviet Union or Europe, such a rural-based 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.
