Book name: Theory of the Partisan Author: Carl Schmitt Publishing house: Madarat for Research Book classification: Religion Number of pages: 143 About the book: The partisan is "the irregular fighter" in this book. which was first published in 1963. The legal, constitutional, and political scholar and the famous and controversial German political theorist Carl Schmitt completes his work that he had begun in 1932 in his previous book "The Concept of the Political". He analyzes the phenomenon of the partisan, which heralded the emergence of a new theory about war and hostility. Schmitt's theory of the partisan is a significant contribution to the understanding of our era, in which traditional political hostility turns into a state where enemies are labeled as criminals and their human qualities are stripped away. From Clausewitz to Lenin then Mao Tsetung and Huo Tsi-min, and reaching Raoul Salan. And from Spanish guerrilla wars against Napoleon's invasion to Vietnam wars. Schmitt traces the transformations of the concept of hostility that once governed war between sovereign European states to the doctrine that sees the political enemy as a target for total annihilation.
