The Freedom Fighter's Manual: Practical guide to liberating Nicaragua from oppression and miserye by paralyzing the military-industrial complex without having to use special tools and with minimal risk for the combatant
New York: Grove Press, 1985. Saddle-stapled octavo in printed self-wraps. Clandestinely smuggled out of Nicaragua by an American journalist and reprinted (with English translations from the Spanish) by the underground publisher Grove Press, this comic-illustrated sabotage manual was airdropped over Nicaragua by the CIA in the 1980s in an attempt to weaken the revolutionary Sandanistan government. From disruptions as tame as "LEAVE LIGHTS ON" and "THREATEN THE BOSS BY TELEPHONE" to instructions for building molotov cocktails: an ironic how-to guide, as the homegrown insurgency measures encouraged here are often employed by populist movements elsewhere that the CIA has historically tasked itself with toppling. Near Fine. Item #3862
