ABSTRACT
This small volume was written in the fall of 1936 as a textbook for the Red Army University of that time. The goal was to synthesize the experience derived from the civil war. It has only five chapters dealing with the strategic offensive, strategic change, political work, and a number of other questions. I did not have time to write more than this. In the past four years there have only been mimeographed copies. 2 In response to the request of the publishing house of the Military and Political Magazine, it is being printed for the reference of comrades in the Party. The result of a great debate, this expressed the view of one line in opposition to another line and is still useful in the present anti-Japanese War.
