The purpose of this artistic reproduction is to characterize and present an important historical document for the contemporary citizen.

This pocket manual reproduces, in meticulously imprecise detail, the declassified Office of Strategic Services (OSS) "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" from 1944, presenting suggestions for inciting and executing acts of everyday resistance through seemingly ordinary behaviors and decisions. The OSS, predecessor to the modern CIA, developed these techniques to assist citizens of occupied countries in resisting fascist forces during World War II.

POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

This artistic edition may be collected and displayed in home libraries, creative workspaces, or historical collections. The inclusion of a "false" dust jacket titled Apiculture: Managing Worker Bees & Drones permits the owner to study its contents in public without drawing unnecessary attention from casual observers.

Herein, the citizen-reader will find actionable intelligence for administrative disruption, such as:

Make 'speeches.' Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your 'points' by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate 'patriotic' comments.

'Misunderstand' orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such orders. Quibble over them when you can.

Work slowly. Think out ways to increase the number of movements necessary on your job.
