On Guerrilla Warfare
1937 book by Mao Zedong / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 1961 book by Che Guevara, see Guerrilla Warfare (book).
On Guerrilla Warfare (simplified Chinese: 抗日游击战争的一般问题; traditional Chinese: 抗日游擊戰爭的一般問題; pinyin: Kàngrì yóu jí zhànzhēng de yībān wèntí) is Mao Zedong's case for the extensive use of an irregular form of warfare in which small groups of combatants use mobile military tactics in the forms of ambushes and raids to combat a larger and less mobile formal army. Mao wrote the book in 1937 to convince Chinese political and military leaders that guerilla style-tactics were necessary for the Chinese to use in the Second Sino-Japanese War.
