Anti-Terrorism:

Cops, Dirty Harry, And Junious Poole, by Hal Draper

I refer to the self-styled radicals who, for some years now, have been burbling over with their rhetoric about "offing the pig," and "picking up the gun," and "revolution in the streets," and "urban guerrillas," and cheering every time somebody else bombs the window of a Bank of America branch, or terrorizes a PG&E power line, or incubates a revolution in a safety-deposit vault, or otherwise takes direct action in terrorism according to the most fashionable doctrines of 1890. Because it has been these bumpkin-blowhards of the Big Bang theory of revolution who have been very successful not in tearing apart the System, but in tearing apart what there was of a radical movement that was aborning.

Guerrilla Warfare:

On Guerrilla Warfare, by Mao Tse-tung

In a war of revolutionary character, guerrilla operations are a necessary part. This is particularly true in war waged for the emancipation of a people who inhabit a vast nation....These guerrilla operations must not be considered as an independent form of warfare. They are but one step in the total war, one aspect of the revolutionary struggle....There are certain fundamental steps necessary in the realization of this policy:
1. Arousing and organizing the people.
2. Achieving internal unification politically.
3. Establishing bases.
4. Equipping forces.
5. Recovering national strength.
6. Destroying enemy's national strength.
7. Regaining lost territories.
