GUERRILLA WARFARE
(Bert 'Yank' Levy) This volume needs little introduction, as it is the classic how-to work on irregular
and partisan fighting which served as a text to train
the English Home Guard when England was threatened
by Nazi invasion. Written in an easy to understand
style for those citizens with little military experience
who find themselves suddenly faced with occupationby
a foreign aggressor, Levy explains how a relatively
untrained but determined citizenry may successfuly
oppose and destroy a heavily armed aggressor.
Levy flavors his book with personal experiences
and observations from three decades of participation
in a multitude of civil wars, revOlutions and gun running
forays. Sabotage, ambushes, demolition, scouting,.
stalking, street fighting, and anti-tank tactics are but
a few of the topics that 'Yank' discusses at length.
'Guerrilla Warfare' is necessary background material for students of guerrilla and irregular warfare.
'This is straightforward, simple stuff, and the
author, very much a man of action, had only two main
aims; to cover the subject as comprehensively as
possible, and to get the message across. He succeeded admirably.' (Irish Defense Journal)
'This is a how to do it book.' (Army Times)

AMBUSH
& COUNTER AMBUSH
(Adapted from Australian Military Forces publication)
Ambushing, which is perhaps the oldest tactic in the
long history of war, has in recent times become the
most widely used insurgent technique in Communist
Revolutionary warfare, because successful ambushesachieve results far out of proportion to the number of
men deployed and permit the ambushers to melt away
quickly before normal retaliatory action can be mountThis concise and comprehensive Australian
ed.
military text covers the subject admirably, studying
the topic as follows:
AMBUSHES: General Considerations (introduction,
ambush sites., types, principles), Planning (general,
factors, layout, action after springing ambush, withdrawal, administrative, alternative plans), Preparation & Occupation (reconnaissance, orders and rehearsals, occupation, lying in ambush), Execution
(springing, subsequent action, withdrawal, ambushes
at night), Small Deliberate Ambushes (grouping, layout), Large Deliberate Ambushes (size, problems,
reaction and counter, static ambushes, mobile ambushes), and Training.
COUNTER AMBUSH: General Considerations (introduction, responsibilities), Counter Ambush when on
Foot (avoidance, breaking out, whole force ambushed,
part of force ambushed, counter ambush by night,
special points), Counter Ambush for Vehicle Convoys
(general, action before contact, action on contact,
drill, road blocks., debussing, training), Counter Ambush for Watercraft (types of boats, security, drill),
plus appendixes. Very fine coverage of an important subject. 80.pages, illustrated, $2.00
