Guerrilla Warfare by Ernesto Che Guevara

Much like Mao's text, Guevara's expansion/interpretation of guerilla warfare in his context stresses the importance of political education among the guerillas and the surrounding citizens. Guevara emphasizes the necessity of unity with nearby civilians for resources, information, and (implicit) a buffer.

Also important, if not the most important, is something every military leader writes about — shoes. Time and time again, Guevara says shoes (and securing leather) is critical to the success.
