In his new book, Defending Our Island Home, Admiral Lee Hsi-min presents a bold and urgent vision for safeguarding Taiwan against the growing threat of Chinese aggression. Drawing on decades of military leadership and strategic insight, Admiral Lee introduces the Overall Defense Concept (ODC)—a transformative approach that prioritizes agility, innovation, and asymmetric warfare over outdated conventional strategies. (Defending Our Island Home is an English version of Admiral Lee’s 2022 book The Overall Defense Concept: An Asymmetric Approach to Taiwan’s Defense.)
