 Best security book on the market March 3, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is a must own and a must read. Ross Anderson may tweak people's noses on occassion...but usually because they need tweaking. Get this book now. Really.
Excellent but biased December 11, 2005

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.
Great resource, cover to cover January 26, 2005

This book has helped us a great deal over the past two years with various issues related to our security architecture. Highly recommended, but only if you require a deep level of understanding. I suggest you review the TOC of this book before purchasing it, just to understand what it covers.
 Excellent substantive content but please leave out politics. June 20, 2004

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.
One of the most definitive security books ever! September 4, 2003
