Simple Sabotage Field Manual

The Simple Sabotage Field Manual, Volume 1, is a historical document produced in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services. This work falls within the categories of political science, military history, and intelligence and espionage. It serves as a practical guide for resistance groups and undercover operatives working within enemy-occupied territories during the 20th century.

The manual focuses on low-risk methods to undermine hostile governments and industrial operations through subtle, everyday actions. Rather than using explosives, the text details how to create bureaucratic delays, misfile documents, and foster interpersonal friction to degrade productivity and morale. This United States intelligence artifact demonstrates how deliberate inefficiencies and minor disruptions can effectively hinder an organization from within.
