This is an excellent book on Security Engineering. While I don’t mind the anti American anecdotes, I wasn’t pleased to see Abdulrahman and terrorist being used close to each other. I think it places a huge bias on the Arabic people as terrorists.
Rating: 5 / 5
Mr. Anderson is a first rate, major league expert in his field and this comes across in the substantive, technical content of his writing. However his professional dissertation is diminished by the anti American invective of his (supposed) anecdotes. If you are a US citizen that has been indoctrinated to blame America first or just someone that dislikes America – you will find Mr. Anderson’s anecdotes to be entertaining, even amusing. If you are not anti American, Mr. Anderson’s anecdotes only clutter and distract from the text. This book is a great technical source. If Anderson would keep his political bias to himself, I would not hesitate to give his book a 5 star rating.
Rating: 4 / 5
Excellent book so far (I have not finished reading it yet) however my one criticism is that there is NO cd available. No excuse for that in this day and age. If you are going to produce a book with 27 chapters, it is going to be big and bulky. It’s also going to decrease the likelihood of someone carrying the book around with them. Having the ability to print a chapter at a time would allow me to read it on the commute into work or at lunch. I even called the publisher and they said no cd or ebook is available. This is why I only gave it three stars.
Rating: 3 / 5
This book covers a wide range of security engineering related domains. In general, the content is good and the level of detail is high-level in order to cover the wide scope of topics.
However, the writing style leaves much to be desired. The book is peppered with sentences starting a discussion on a topic and then abruptly ending it, referring to other chapters for more details, which quickly becomes very annoying to the reader.
The style of writing is also dry as a mouthful of flower. In addition, the layout of the book will put most readers to sleep since there are few figures and diagrams to explain relationships and methodologies where needed.
Hopefully the shortcomings will be fixed in the second edition.
Rating: 3 / 5
I found the book very interesting to read as a textbook becasue it draws many examples from everyday applications. The style of writing is good and it covers broadly all areas of IT security. For those requiring more detailed discussions in specific areas of security, this may not be sufficient.
