Simple Sabotage Field Manual: A Declassified CIA Guide to Subverting Fascism Through Weaponized Incompetence - Paperback

The ultimate guide to everyday sabotage, designed by spies to grind fascism to a halt.

Arm yourself with knowledge and strategic incompetence! History proves that the most successful resistance comes from within. Once a covert tool against oppressive regimes, The Simple Sabotage Field Manual is set to inspire a new generation of Americans to fight fascism--at home and abroad. This declassified guide written by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II teaches ordinary citizens to discreetly disrupt enemy operations. How? By leaning into laziness, embracing red tape, whispering misinformation, and being proficient at inefficiency.

With democracy teetering on the brink, this manual's tactics are eerily relevant to the modern era. Its advice on causing bureaucratic slowdowns, creating wasteful work habits, and stymying others' productivity will appeal to anyone who's overwhelmed by world politics and itching to take up the fight. It includes helpful tips 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."

Discover how small, everyday disruptions can throw a wrench into the gears of authoritarian overreach, and change the world one befuddled shrug at a time.
