Sabotage and How to Master It

By: Office of Strategic Services

Originally written in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services--the CIA's precursor--this manual teaches the art of sabotage through inefficiency, delays, and distractions. Read along to see 1) how the state weaponizes individual actors to disrupt collective efforts, 2) tactics to watch out for in your groups and collaborations (and within yourself!), 3) ways regular people can hack back against destructive forces through simple, nonviolent means that require no tools, skills, or training. The master's tools may never dismantle the master's house, but maybe we can peacefully monkey-wrench a master's subdivision or two, you know what we're sayin'? Why let the CIA have all the fun!
