Simple Sabotage Field Manual

What if a moment of deliberate incompetence could slow an army? The OSS wartime manual begins not with a daring raid, but with ordinary people and the quiet force of small disruptions.

Written by the United States Office of Strategic Services in the early 1940s, this document comes from a Europe at war, where resistance could be dangerous and the smallest acts might seem futile. It considers how everyday citizens, working alone or unseen among others, could undermine an occupying power—and how they might overcome fear, habit, and the feeling that one person could make no difference. Its unsettling premise is that the human element itself can become a source of delay and disorder. What happens when thousands of people decide that ordinary life is no longer ordinary?
