Publisher's Synopsis
A US Special Forces manual, Army Techniques Publication 3-05.1 Unconventional Warfare defines the term Unconventional Warfare as: Activities conducted to enable a resistance movement or insurgency to coerce, disrupt, or overthrow a government or occupying power by operating through or with an underground, auxiliary, and guerrilla force in a denied area.
ATP 3-05.1, Unconventional Warfare, is the US Army Special Forces' doctrinal foundation for Unconventional Warfare operations and is the broadest and most comprehensive United States Government doctrinal publication on the subject of Unconventional Warfare ever published.
The manual details Unconventional Warfare fundamentals, activities and the considerations involved in planning and executing Unconventional Warfare operations in any political, ideological or physical environment.
Every US Special Forces soldier is trained to not only fight guerrillas, but also to raise their own guerrilla bands, secret undergrounds and insurgent or resistance groups. This manual is the foundation for that training.
Of particular interest to historians and "truth" researchers is a historical exploration of past US-sponsored guerrilla and resistance groups. It discusses the CIA's secret guerrilla resistance force in Tibet from the 1950s to the 1970s as well as the "stay-behind" groups established in Scandinavia and Europe during the Cold War in the event of Soviet invasion. The Italian component of the "stay-behind" program was known as Operation Gladio and it remains unacknowledged by official NATO sources.
Published for the first time, this manual is in easy to read 6x9 perfect bound paperback format.
