Action is the ultimate purpose of a resistance movement. Effective actions—effective tactics—emerge from communities of resistance and require the supporting capacities described in the preceding chapters.

These final two chapters are a pair. This chapter deals with tactics, the most detailed level of conflict, which includes planning and carrying out particular actions or engagements. Strategy deals with the bigger picture, such as planning and carrying out campaigns. (The intermediate level of operations deals with things in between. On an even larger scale, grand strategy would deal with entire liberation movements over the long term, and with their ultimate goals.)

Strategy and tactics are part of the same continuum, and neither can be discussed in isolation. Tactics can only be evaluated in the context of a good strategy. And strategies are based on the tactics available. So I’ll jump back and forth a bit over these final two chapters.
