Summary
Details

How To Master Secret Work is a riveting exploration into the clandestine world of the South African Communist Party's covert tradecraft during the throes of their resistance against the oppressive Apartheid regime. Initially published in serialized form in the underground newspaper, Umsebenzi between 1985 and 1987, this revealing document has now been revived in the format of a standalone pamphlet.

The South African Communist Party, African National Congress and uMkhonto we Sizewe (MK) prowess as guerrillas or terrorists was amateur-hour at best, but they were indeed masters of underground operations, operational security and intelligence, as trained by the Soviets. This training took place in locations such as Mozambique, Angola, and post-1980 Zimbabwe, with some high-ranking cadres even venturing to the Soviet Union.

How to Master Secret Work is an embodiment of the distilled Soviet KGB operational security tradecraft practices, adeptly tailored to the unique South African security environment of the time. Regardless of its SACP origins, it stands as an unparalleled English-language representation of KGB tradecraft training materials.

This new edition of How To Master Secret Work is original in every way, even incorporating the rare original graphics and diagrams found only in the late 1980s standalone training pamphlet, creating an authentic and complete representation that is unmatched on the market today. This is more than a book - it's a journey into history, a guide to clandestine operations tradecraft, and a study in resilience. Get ready to dive into a largely hidden chapter of espionage history.
