Mao: Über den Guerillakrieg – SPARTANAT Red Book 6

Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Mao's theory of guerrilla warfare and the Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion.

Goliath is not always the more powerful. David can also harass him with many stabs. If a country is occupied, resistance must be organized. The attacking Japanese conquerors were defeated by all Chinese. perceived as an existential threat. 

“On Guerrilla Warfare” is Mao Tse-Tung’s plea for the use of irregular warfare. 

Mao wrote this book in 1937 to convince everyone in China that the Chinese had to use guerrilla tactics in the war against the Japanese. He also explained how they were to be used: Small groups of fighters were to fight a larger enemy army in an organized manner, using ambushes and raids. The communist leader and later Chinese head of state, Mao Tse-tung, thus provided a classic example of guerrilla theory, which we document in this SPARTANAT Red Book.
