"Insurrection—by means of guerrilla bands—is the true method of warfare for all nations which desire to emancipate themselves from a foreign yoke. [Guerrilla Warfare] opens a field of activity for every local capacity, forces the enemy into an unaccustomed method of combat, avoids the evil consequences of a great defeat, secures the national war from the risk of treason, and does not confine it within any restricted basis of operations. It is invincible, indestructible." - Giuseppe Mazzini
