Description
The Partisan Leader's Handbook May 1939 is a concise guide to guerrilla warfare training. Published in 1939, it was used by various military units and resistance groups during World War II, including the British Independent Companies, Home Guard Auxiliaries, and Special Operations Executive. This pamphlet provides practical advice on running guerrilla operations in occupied territory, covering topics such as organisation, intelligence collection, raids, and sabotage. Its author drew on extensive experience and research into guerrilla warfare, drawing parallels with earlier conflicts like the Boer War and the Spanish Civil War. The handbook remains relevant today, offering valuable insights into the conduct of guerrilla warfare that could be useful to insurgent and counterinsurgent groups alike.
