On Guerrilla Warfare

By: Mao Tse Tung

Narrated by: William Heschel

"On Guerrilla Warfare" by Mao Tse Tung is a foundational text that elaborates on the strategies and philosophies behind guerrilla warfare, authored by the revolutionary leader during the tumultuous period of the Chinese Civil War and the Japanese invasion of China in the 20th century. Mao's work is not just a military manual but a profound treatise on the application of guerrilla tactics as a form of irregular warfare by a smaller, mobile force against a larger, more conventionally equipped enemy. Through this work, Mao emphasizes the importance of political ideology, the support of the local population, and the use of the terrain to the guerrilla fighter's advantage. His insights into the interplay between politics and military strategy have made this work a staple reference in the study of revolutionary warfare and insurgency movements globally, influencing numerous conflicts and shaping the tactics of various liberation movements.

Some lessons need to be learned again and again.

it says it is read by William Herschel, but it sounds like Tom Morello.

Horrible not real history

Just pass on this one. Nothing real or useful in this book about Mao. I have read many others on his life that are much better. Always consider the source of who is writing history books. Clearly this is no historian with actual facts just his own opinion.
