A well-researched history of the origins, doctrine, operations, and effectiveness of Soviet irregular (unconventional) warfare during the Second World War.

From the foreword: "How far did the partisan forces, operating in the rear of the German lines, weaken the German military effort and thus lighten the burden of the Red Army? These studies suggest new and significant answers to this question and also to the question of how the people in occupied areas reacted to the German presence and to prospective restoration of Soviet rule." .
