I’m looking for books (both fiction and non-fiction) that explore resistance movements and guerrilla warfare. I’m especially interested in stories about the dynamics between oppressors and the oppressed, how resistance movements emerge, and the political, social, and moral complexities behind them.
The setting can be historical, contemporary, or even sci-fi/fantasy (something like Star Wars is totally fine), but I’d really like the perspective to feel grounded and realistic. I’m not looking for glorification or pure propaganda, more neutral, nuanced takes that show different sides of the conflict.
Any recommendations are welcome.

Look up the writings of Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh.
The Way The Wind Blew: A History of the Weather Underground by Ron Jacobs might be relevant. It is a really engaging book. They were engaged in active resistance against the Vietnam war and were inspired by guerrilla fighters in the south.
