Action
This book considers different kinds of action; how to gauge the effectiveness of action; whether or not one or more actions are complementary or mutually destructive; and who should carry out the actions. French writer, thinker, and activist Jean Ousset examines the fundamental questions of effective social action, such as ideology, people, resources, and how to evaluate conflicting principles. Anyone interested in effecting social change or studying modern social movements will find this both a compelling and unique work.

This seemed like a very generalized approach to organizing with very little by way of specifics.
Tl;dr - you need good people who are doctrinally orthodox. cells should be 5-8 people. whatever "action" is taken is never merely reactionary but always with the long game in mind. and so on...
Ousset's fear of Communism and Socialist totalitarianism may seem silly to modern readers as Liberalism, not Marxism, is the dominant ideology worldwide.
