Work Description
This book is a manual, basically written for non-military personnel. It explains, in easy to understand words, how to fight against an occupation force. We have to keep in mind that this book was written during the so called cold war, as a major conflict in Western Europe was a possible event. We could compare this book, with some caution of course, to the Waffen SS manual written in the late
fourties for the Werewolfs, who were intended to stay behind occupied territories in Germany and wage guerilla warfare.
Total Resistance is a no nonsense book, very much Swiss like in fact. All basics of Guerilla warfare are presented very clearly. Total Resistance is by no way outdated or obsolete. In fact, it would be of interest for Armed forces in Irak and Afghanistan to study this work closely. Just for the record, it is obvious that Major von Dach, the author of this book, did get to read Chinese and Vietnamese manuals on guerilla warfare...
