Warfare In The Enemy's Rear (1963) By Otto Heilbrunn
This book, first published in 1963, is an analysis of modern warfare in the enemy’s rear, written by the leading authority on irregular warfare, and stemming from a close examination of real-life examples. Rear warfare on scale poses many problems, such as the exact field of operations; supply line issues; combat or harassment; and coordination with frontline troops. There is also the issue of protecting one’s own rear troops.
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.
