Description

Your guide to throwing bureaucratic wrenches into authoritarian gears

The most effective resistance comes from within. Originally created during World War II as a covert tool used to undermine oppressive regimes, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is back to inspire a new generation of Americans to fight fascism at home and abroad. This declassified government document teaches everyday citizens like you how to discreetly disrupt enemy operations by leaning into laziness, embracing red tape, whispering misinformation, and being proficient at inefficiency. You’ll discover cleverly simple sabotage strategies like these:

• Insist on doing everything through “channels.”

• Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

• Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

• “Misunderstand” orders.

• Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.

About the Author

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was formed in June of 1942 by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to coordinate espionage activities for all branches of the Armed Forces during World War II. It was dissolved in September of 1945 but its institutional and spiritual legacy lives on in the independent Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
