| Reviewer: Carl E. Lehman, |
| This is the perfect text book for starting a security academy for new security officers. I recommend this text book for buying. |
Not obsolete - Newer versions are available though

I disagree with whomever wrote this text was outdated. There are many valuable concepts in this book and I can't think of anything in this book that can't be applied to security today. It may be missing some of the new technologies but everything in it is still current.
It is a good read and well organized. I picked this up for an Intro to Security class in college. |
Got textbook for class

| Reviewer: John Imprint, United States |
It is an OK introduction to security. It covers many aspects. Some chapters have too many quotes. At times it seems like a student's research paper turned into a book.
It shipped much earlier than indicated. I could have used super saver shipping and got it in time and got free shipping. |
95% obsolete

| This is a 1975 edition, so only has value if you are completely new to the field. Probably good in its day. |
