Well first check amazon before reading it since there is not enough reviews for it in here. Its authors are very succesful people in their major. Book is very good and explanative about cybersecurity subjects. I recommend it for the enthusiasts who has knowledge in computer science. It's not for amateurs I think. It will help learning known attack and defense types. But it's not like attack-defend scenarios are examined for both sides. More like known concepts are explained in order. I especially recommend computer science students who are freshman. Before selecting a semimajor it will help you get an idea for cybersecurity.
