Partisan Warfare (1962) By Otto Heilbrunn
This book, first published in 1962, was the first systematic study of partisan war, investigating questions thrown up by the success of guerrillas in the Second World War, where they were never decisively beaten by regular armies. Drawing on lessons from Soviet Russia and China in particular, areas with especially active and large partisan forces, this book evolves a doctrine of guerrilla war in modern conditions, with an analysis of partisans in post-war Malaya, Kenya, Cyprus, Vietnam, Algeria, Cuba and Laos.
Analysis of Soviet espionage practices in Germany during World War II. Author Otto Heilbrunn (1906-1969) studied the Communist world's insurgency tactics in depth; educated in Germany, he was U.S. Assistant Counsel at the Nuremberg War Crimes, and later, in service to the British War Office, at the Manstein trial. This detailed study of the Soviet Secret Service addresses problems of national security in the nuclear age, and importantly, gives due attention to much-ignored disaffection in the developing world as well as the power of psychological warfare as instruments of war. A milestone.
