Manual of Guerilla Tactics: Specially Prepared And Based On Lessons From The Spanish And Russian Campaigns - Paperback

by Anon (Author)

One of the excellent, concise Bernards Pocket Books, intended to show members of the Home Guard and the regular forces that war is not conducted in a gentlemanly way - it is kill or be killed. The authors describe the effective methods and equipment needed for close-quarter battle. Subjects cover house to house fighting, sniping, silent killing, booby traps, fuses, detonators, camouflage, destroying supplies, and communications, with a special section on the preparation and use of explosives for Home Guard and service use. A late war, commercially published manual based on lessons from the Spanish and Russian campaigns, it is of value even today in its message to anyone faced with the enemy.
