Fight for the Final Frontier uses the concepts associated with
irregular warfare to offer new insights for understanding the
nature of strategic competition in space. Today’s most pressing
security concerns are best considered using an irregular warfare
lens because incidents and points of potential conflict fall
outside the definition of armed conflict. While some universal
rules of combat apply across all domains, conflict in space up-ends
and flips those assumed standards of understanding.
John Klein provides a solution to reckoning with the many
malicious, nefarious, and irresponsible behaviors in the space
domain by using the irregular warfare framework. This offers a new
paradigm through which one can view and study conflict, outside
traditional combat, involving state and non-state actors. A
“war” in space will be utterly unlike any that have happened on
Earth, though scholars can provide lessons from past conflict to
understand the flashpoints in the heavens. Providing
the needed foundational understanding, Fight for the Final Frontier
makes the case that irregular warfare in the space domain is shaped
by the fundamental nature of all warfare, along with universal
principles of strategy and the essential unity of all strategic
experience. Going one step further, John Klein outlines the new
arenas for battle, new areas of conflict and competition, and the
necessary concepts for operating in this bold new frontier.
