Guerrilla Warfare (1942) By "Yank" Levy
 
1st Australian edition of Penguin Special by a Canadian who fought for Sandino in Nicaragua and with a machine-gun company of the British Battalion of the International Brigade in Spain. Introduction by Tom Wintringham. 
 
'Yank' Levy is a military expert who learned about war on the battlefield rather than from books by other experts. In the war of 1914-1918, he fought against the Turks with the British Army in the Near East, and in 1937, he fought the Spanish fascists in the war that was the real beginning of the present conflict. While in Spain, he was taken prisoner and spent six months in Franco's incredibly vile prisons. With other non-Spaniards, he was then exchanged for Fascist prisoners held by the Loyalists.
 
After Dunkirk, Tom Wintringham (his commander in Spain) asked him to lecture at his new Home Guard School at Osterley Park. When the British Government adopted the school, Levy was hired as an instructor by the War Office. In 1940-1942, thousands of British fighting men heard his inspired talks, and all agreed that he was the world's finest lecturer on guerrilla warfare.
