Sumario:This article seeks to apprehend the understanding that Portuguese strategic thinking developed, in the decade and a half between the end of the 2nd World War and the beginning of the African War, about the irregular or subversive (insurgency) war. This reading will be done, essentially, based on the study of some texts that were published in military magazines of the time under consideration and in some works also published in that period. Analogously, some manuals existing in the Library of the Military Academy of Portugal will be used. A part of the text will deal with guerrilla warfare and another with revolutionary war, in both, speaking of the authors who wrote about these forms of strategy, highlighting the most relevant themes and the most acute problems.
