Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to make irregular warfare theory accessible.
The Resistance Hub exists to take complex ideas about irregular, asymmetric, and hybrid warfare and make them understandable to the general public, while remaining directly relevant to policymakers, practitioners, and academics. By combining historical study, professional experience, and contemporary open-source research, we provide analysis that is both accessible and authoritative.
What We Publish
The Resistance Hub produces a spectrum of content designed to explain and contextualize irregular warfare:
- Current event analysis that links bedrock theory from our Core Concepts to the realities of today’s conflicts.
- Articles and essays on resistance strategies, hybrid operations, and irregular conflict.
- The Resistance Hub Podcast delivers our analysis in an accessible, on-the-go audio format.
- Publications through Distillery Press include primers and studies in paperback and e-book formats for readers who prefer different modes of consumption.
- Curated resources, including key public-domain texts, a glossary of key terms, annotated reading lists, and reference material for deeper study.
Our goal is to provide immediate relevance through timely analysis, while also building lasting value through primers, references, and archival material. All of our editorial content is, and will remain, free to access, reflecting the spirit of resistance itself, the inherent desire for freedom shared by every person.
Editorial Standards
Our editorial process is guided by three principles:
- Transparency: Sources are cited directly in the text or in a references section.
- Accountability: All content undergoes editorial review before publication.
- Neutrality: We do not promote governments, parties, or movements. Our role is analysis, not advocacy.

The Origin Story of The Resistance Hub
The Resistance Hub began as a personal tool — a way to organize and track material on resistance for my own study, no matter where I was in the world. At first, it focused on historical case studies and modern irregular conflicts, but it quickly became clear that something was missing. Nearly every search for “resistance” was dominated by references to medicine and electronics, not to the political, military, and social movements I was seeking.
That absence revealed a larger gap: there was no centralized, accessible resource on the practice of resistance, one that connected its historical roots with its modern applications. The more I searched, the clearer the need became. Those looking for insight into the art and science of resistance needed a dedicated platform to bridge this divide.
What began as a personal tool grew into The Resistance Hub: a space for anyone studying, practicing, or simply interested in resistance. By connecting theory with contemporary events, and by linking readers to key thinkers and foundational texts, we work to make complex ideas more accessible. Today, The Resistance Hub is no longer just for me; it is for the man or woman in the arena confronting authoritarianism or repression, for the service member navigating irregular conflict, and for the policymaker or practitioner seeking clarity. Our goal is to be a comprehensive resource for understanding how resistance has shaped, and continues to shape, the world.
Independence and Commitment
The Resistance Hub is an independent publication and is not affiliated with any government, military, or political movement.
We are committed to building a long-term, reliable resource for the study of irregular warfare, resistance, and hybrid conflict. Our aim is to provide material that educates, informs, and endures.
Our content reflects the full spectrum of resistance studies in pursuit of our mission of accessibility. We use a multi-channel, multi-mode approach: Core Concepts offer concise 7-minute primers, current event analysis on the home page shows their relevance, 15-minute audio editions provide an alternative way to engage, Distillery Press distills foundational texts into essential insights, and our curated archives bring together public-domain works that are otherwise scattered across the web.
The Resistance Hub is built as a resource for everyone. We welcome ideas for topics, resources, or perspectives that serve our mission. If a request is legal, ethical, and feasible, we will work to include it in our coverage.
