Simple Sabotage Field Manual: Annotated Edition

by U.S. Office of Strategic Services

Declassified and now legendary, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual was produced by the OSS — the wartime predecessor to the CIA — as a guide for ordinary citizens in occupied territories to disrupt enemy operations through small, deliberate acts of inefficiency. What makes it startling today is how recognizable those acts of sabotage look in everyday organizational life. This Sequoia annotated edition pairs the complete original text with a biographical note on the OSS, section prefaces, and a glossary that illuminates its historical context and its surprisingly contemporary relevance.
