Hello, guerrilla history listeners.

This is Adnan Hussein, one of the co-hosts of Gorilla History.

Every month, as you know, we record a reconnaissance report, a major episode with a guest about their historical work,

as well as an intelligence briefing, a shorter discussion, usually among the three of us.

Occasionally we also post a dispatch from the field of contemporary left history,

often with a guest about a breaking story or a recent set of events or issues,

and provide some historical analysis.

We also typically record a second intelligence briefing as an exclusive episode for patrons, subscribers at

patreon.com slash gorilla history. We've decided to unlock an intelligence briefing each month

after a year has passed as special from the archive episodes for you to enjoy. We hope you'll find these a useful resource.

Of course, if you'd like to subscribe and have early access to intelligence briefings and all

the other additional content like readings and discussions of classic texts, primary sources,

reviews and discussions, do become a patron at patreon.com slash gorilla history with our gratitude.

We do this because we love to make history a resource in our political education as an

activist global left and in our struggles for justice. So we're happy to share these older episodes

with you in this series from the archive. As ever, solidarity.

You remember Den Van Booh? No! The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.

They didn't have anything but a rank.

The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare.

But they put some guerrilla action on.

Hello and welcome to guerrilla history.

Today we're having an intelligence briefing.
