U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook
Purchase options and add-ons
They can be swift, silent, and deadly. That's why armed guerrillas are feared by even the largest, best-equipped fighting forces. No tank, rocket-propelled grenade, or infantry battalion can match the guerrilla team's ability to exact brutality with precision, instill fear in enemy hearts, and viciously deflate morale. From the snows of Korea to the jungles of Southeast Asia to the mountains of Afghanistan, the U.S. Army has employed guerrilla tactics to deadly effect. Those tactics and techniques, being used today by U.S. soldiers, are laid out in the U.S. Army Guerrilla Warfare Handbook. Topics covered include:
- Offensive combat operations
- Interdiction
- Defensive operations
- Psychological operations in support of unconventional warfare
- Demobilization
- And more!
Employing small, heavily-armed, and well-oiled fire teams, guerrilla warfare has played an invaluable role in the success of nearly every U.S. campaign for decades. Here, its methods are detailed: raids and ambushes, demolition, counterintelligence, mining and sniping, psychological warfare, communications, and much more.
Here is an inside look at the guerrilla strategies and weapons that have come to be feared by enemies and respected by allies. Not another outside perspective or commentary on unconventional warfare, this is the original—of use to soldiers in the field and to anyone with an interest in military tactics.

The Department of the Army (DA) is one of the three military departments within the Department of Defense of the United States of America. The Department of the Army is the Federal Government agency within which the United States Army is organized, and it is led by the Secretary of the Army who has statutory authority (10 U.S.C. § 3013) to conduct its affairs and to prescribe regulations for its government, subject to the limits of the law, and the directions of the Secretary of Defense and the President.

John Mark (pictured) founded Matthew Luke Publishing during his stint as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant in collaboration with his colleagues. Matthew Luke is a pen name for anonymous Special Operations Soldiers.
Before joining the army, John developed his design and illustration skills by designing websites. And he developed his writing skills by graduating from Columbia Law School and becoming a licensed attorney in New York and New Jersey.
John hopes that by writing these books, future Soldiers will have an easier time learning. See the official Matthew Luke Publishing website for free diagrams.
