 Good for civilian resistance Feb 23, 2008
By Goldman
The best "How to do" book that I've found for what now is called "4th Generation War". Most books on this topic are about how to fight against resistance fighters, i.e. "counter insurgency" - such as road blocks, house searches, etc.. This book is the opposite: how to do guerrilla/resistance/underground/5th Column. The technological parts is, granted, outdated. The theory and the organization of civilian resistance is the best that I've seen.
The book is a manual for the Swiss Army and population (Switzerland doesn't have an army; Switzerland IS an army) if and when Switzerland might be "conquered" by a foreign power. Yet its principles could be used in combating a domestic tyrant.
Given the current political situation, one has the disturbing impression that one reads this book for the future.
The Table of Contents (briefly):
Part I. ORGANIZATON AND CONDUCT OF GUERRILLA WARFARE
1. Purpose of Guerilla Warefare
2. Organizaton of Guerrilla Warfare
3. Tactics of Guerrilla Units
4. How an Enemy with Modern equipment will Operate Against Your Guerrilla Detachment
Part II: ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION OF THE CIVILIAN RESISTANCE MOVEMENT [best part of book]
1. Organization
2. Enemy Organization
3. Operations of the Resistance Movement
Closing Remarks

 The Swiss are certainly prepared for anything! Aug 19, 2006
By E. Fryman
"Poor Goat Farmer"
In his landmark book, Total Resistance, the Swiss Army Guide to Guerrila Warfare and Underground Operations, Major Von Dach has certainly expanded my mind and has shown through practical participation how all can resist tryanical invaders, whenever and wherever the forces of tyrany raise their ugly head. Despite the fact that it was writen in 1958 and released in the United States in 1965, the portons of the book especially devoted to the organization and mobilization of the occupied citizenry are still very much up to date when dealing with the means to combat and defeat those with tyranical designs on any population who's maxium "Death rather than Slavery!"

Total Resistance-Required Reading for Freedom Lovers Apr 07, 2000
I received this book yesterday, and read it from cover to cover that afternoon. Major Von Dach published this book in 1958, but its tactical information is invaluable even today. The good Major covers the major aspects of both passive and active resistance to an invading force, and the information he provides will be useful against oppresive tyrants everywhere. I found this book to be well written, although there are a few mistakes in editing. The illustrations could have been drawn on a larger scale as well. In my opinion, this book is a valuable resource for any freedom loving individual anywhere in the world.

Guerilla warfare for Dummies Jul 13, 2008
By M. Duval
"Mikeo88"
I have always been interested in guerilla warfare but almost every book out there is written about how to counter and insurgency usually written by some US officer who has vague knowledge learned in some military college. Not this book its by an expert in guerilla warfare and is completely no holds bare in its information. Everything from using propaganda successfully and winning the trust of the local citizens to destroying bridges and spotting informants is covered in this book. the only complaint i have is that the text is somewhat small and hard to read on some pages and pictures are kind of blurry which is somewhat irritating. Aside from these minor problems I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in unconventional warfare, and in the troubling times we are in now who knows you might actually need this book someday to wage your own guerilla war.
P.S.
a person who reviewed the book said that guerilla war doesn't work and eventually is defeated.....well I guess he skipped the page and a half at the beginning that listed major successful guerilla conflicts, thats not even including the successful guerilla operations waged after 1956 when this book was first published
And never forget resistance is not futile!!!!

Steve Mahoney Aug 11, 2005
By Stef
Good book overall. Two short comings. The first is that it is a bit dated. But that's due to when it was written. The principles are still good so it's not hard to figure out 'updates' yourself.
The one that cost it a star was that a lot of the book looks like a scan or copy of a earlier copy. So it has some issues with fuzzyness of the print.
