This book advocates for a novel doctrine of 'total lawfare' as part of a comprehensive approach to modern hybrid warfare.

The book begins by introducing the military concept of 'limited lawfare' in the context of modern geopolitical conditions. It proceeds to set out a conceptual history of lawfare in the West, highlighting conceptual shortcomings and NATO's limited capabilities in this branch of hybrid warfare. It then provides a comparative case study and strategic threat assessment of the Chinese concept of 'unrestricted lawfare'. Against this, the book grounds an ethical doctrine of 'total lawfare' within the Western jurisprudential tradition and translates this into practice as a key pillar of modern defense strategy under the rule of law. The book concludes by advocating for a Thielian 'New Defense' industry centered upon 'total lawfare' as a legitimate and effective Western response to enemy aggression.

The book will be of interest to academics, policy-makers, and students working in the fields of lawfare, jurisprudence, and military law.
