Outside of a relatively brief preface, this thing, the simple sabotage field manual, which you can freely read online or hear an audio book of, it was not solely written for the officers.
Why people recommend it
Simple Sabotage Field Manual by Office of Strategic Services is a historical instructional guide originally produced during World War II to detail methods of covert disruption and organizational stalling. Ben Bowlin spoke about the manual on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, introducing it as the main subject of coverage and noting that understanding the text requires examining the individuals who created it. He explained that outside of a relatively brief preface, the manual was not written exclusively for trained military officers, but was instead distributed widely and intended for use by citizen saboteurs. Furthermore, the podcast host highlighted that the text is quite brief and easily accessible to the general public, encouraging listeners to read or listen to the work for themselves in audio or print form across various online platforms. The discussion emphasized both the historical context of intelligence operations and the peculiar, highly practical nature of the administrative disruption tactics outlined in the original wartime document.
