Hope everyone is enjoying these first days of 2008! Here are some great films for you all to watch and ponder. Please feel free to provide your own links in the comments sections
The Corporation
Nicaragua - A Nation's Right to Survive —a great British documentary about the problems facing a post-revolutionary Nicaragua and a good primer on the U.S. multiple military intervention in the region.
The Motorcycle Diaries
638 Ways to Kill Castro
Tunnel Warfare - part propaganda, part guerrilla training film, this movies is compelling for a great number of reasons.
That should keep you all busy and entertained for a while.

Thanks for providing the film links Red Son. I found your blog via the comments you left at Soob's post entitled, "Romanticizing Germany's urban guerillas."
I also appreciate your training manual suggestions. If you don't mind, may I suggest some texts that I found of use during my training:
The U.S. Army/Marine Corps, Counterinsurgency Field Manual
The U.S. Army, Urban Operations Manual
Max G. Manwaring, Internal Wars: Rethinking Problem and Response
Steven Metz, Rethinking Insurgency
Thanks for the suggestions, I welcome the contributions of reader and hope you become a regular visitor here. As for field manuals, finding them for free online is sometimes tricky, because they can be in restricted circulation. But you can find a lot here and here. Additionally there are some torrents of collections of field manuals. I recently downloaded one called "Post War Books," the link for which I couldn't find right now. Also you can order or buy some restricted ones in book form. For example FM 31-21 Guerrilla Warfare and Special Forces Operations cannot be found online, at least for civilians but you can order it here.
