Question, if one wants to learn of effective means to organise resistance, how could this be done?
I'm currently not in an occupied country, but Russia has been threatening many of its neighbours.
Here it started with tools to report the presence of enemy forces - see e.g. https://bachu.info/ I'm not an expert at organising, but I guess the Internet greatly facilitates civilian resistance - see e.g. https://zlamavka.com/en/home/
I am not an expert, but I think it might be worth studying the French resistance in Paris at the end of WW2.
You could also look up the Chilean resistance in the 80s. In both cases, you may find traumatic descriptions of the terrible things that happened to the captured Resistance members, so be warned.
One thing you can learn from the Chilean resistance is to get the job done and then gtfo as soon as you can. They fired a missile to the dictator but they were too close to the car and the missile bounced on the windshield instead of exploding. The military then took revenge and killed a lot of resistance fighters and even journalists associated with them

I've tried, but I've found no usefully complete source, and as important as it may be, I'm hesitant to trawl through thousands of memoirs and op-eds written in a foreign language and foreign culture to distill five useful tips.
The instructions given in The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress are pretty solid.
Have a secretly sentient AI manage all communications for you?
Solid advice :p
