About this listen

Originally written in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), the wartime predecessor to the CIA, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a fascinating and often startling guide to subtle disruption during World War II. Designed to be used by ordinary citizens behind enemy lines, this manual offered clever, low-risk ways to undermine operations—from misfiling paperwork to tampering with machinery and stalling meetings.

Both a historical curiosity and a chillingly relevant study in passive resistance, the manual outlines how small acts of obstruction—carried out consistently and quietly—could grind an enemy’s war machine to a halt. With its dryly practical tone and surprising creativity, Simple Sabotage Field Manual reveals the hidden tactics of psychological warfare, bureaucratic interference, and grassroots defiance.

Narrated with gripping precision by Russ Jankovitz, this audiobook brings the shadowy ingenuity of World War II espionage to life, offering listeners a window into how everyday people were weaponized to fight tyranny from within.
