Book excerpt: Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare and refers to conflicts in which a small group of combatants including, but not limited to, armed civilians (or "irregulars") use military tactics, such as ambushes, sabotage, raids, the element of surprise, and extraordinary mobility to harass a larger and less-mobile traditional army, or strike a vulnerable target, and withdraw almost immediately. The term means "little war" in Spanish, and the word, guerrilla, has been used to describe the concept since the 18th century, and perhaps earlier.

Book excerpt: During Nicaragua's civil war in the 1980s, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) commissioned a manual for the rebel contras of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force (FDN), entitled Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare (Operaciones sicológicas en guerra de guerillas). Its public revelation in October 1984 created a firestorm of controversy.The manual was written by a CIA contract employee who used the alias John Kirkpatrick. He based his work off of existing US Army manuals, particularly the Green Berets' Lesson Plan 643, Armed Psyop (April 1968). Field Manual 30-104, Handbook on Aggressor Insurgent War (September 1967), was another source. These manuals were in turn informed by the Army's study of the doctrine and methods employed by the Viet Cong's Armed Propaganda Teams to build political support.Kirkpatrick worked during the fall of 1983 with the FDN director in charge of communications, Edgar Chamorro, and Chamorro's secretary translated the manuscript into Spanish. The ninety-page manual was printed under the pseudonym Tayacán in late 1983. Two passages were cut out of the printed manual, and replaced by expurgated pages before distribution: one talked about getting demonstrators killed to create martyrs for the cause, the other about hiring professional criminals for special jobs.The full, unexpurgated manual was retranslated into English by Joanne Omang for the Congressional Research Service.

Therefore, its area of operations exceeds the territorial limits of conventional warfare, to penetrate the political entity itself: the "political animal" that Aristotle defined. In effect, the human being should be considered the priority objective in a political war. And conceived as the military target of guerrilla war, the human being has his most critical point in his mind. Once his mind has been reached, the "political animal" has been defeated, without necessarily receiving bullets. Guerrilla warfare is born and grows in the political environment; in the constant combat to dominate that area of political mentality that is inherent to all human beings and which collectively constitutes the "environment" in which guerrilla warfare moves, and which is where precisely its victory or failure is defined. This conception of guerrilla warfare as political war turns Psychological Operations into the decisive factor of the results. The target, then, is the minds of the population, all the population: our troops, the enemy troops and the civilian population. This book is a manual for the training of guerrillas in psychological operations, and its application to the concrete case of the Christian and democratic crusade being waged in Nicaragua by the Freedom Commandos. Note: In this text the editor has replaced the phrase Sandinista with "Government" as this manual should be a guide to fight and conquer any oppressive government.
