Included in the book are several well-defined system programming projects that support the material covered, including a machine interpreter implementation, an assembler implementation, and a linker implementation.

I was searching for a book to teach me how C is compiled in assembly. This is the perfect book for it. The biggest let down is that it is focused on some educational assembly and not some commercial one like ARM, MIPS or RISC-V.
