The purpose of this paper is to characterize simple sabotage, to outline its possible effects, and to present suggestions for inciting and executing it.

Lo scopo di questo documento è di caratterizzare il sabotaggio semplice, di delinearne i possibili effetti e di presentare suggerimenti per incitarlo ed eseguirlo.

Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially-trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual citizen-saboteur can perform.

Il sabotaggio varia da atti di colpo di mano altamente tecnici che richiedono una pianificazione dettagliata e l'impiego di operativi appositamente addestrati, a innumerevoli atti semplici che il comune cittadino-sabotatore può compiere.

This paper is primarily concerned with the latter type.

Questo documento si occupa principalmente di quest'ultimo tipo.
