Excellent text book on the basics of security management and system security. It's a little dated, but 90% of the information is still valuable and relevant.

The security industry has changed a lot over the last 10 years. This was a productive look at preventative measures, counter terrorism and general applications of security practices. After spending 3 years away from the world of Corportate Security it was a nice refresher. I enjoyed stepping away from the principles I had learned in the prison system. The ability to be versatile is a key component of success.
