Editorial Reviews

Review

this text elevates the discussion of security management. No longer must such texts only be an extra term of introduction texts, or a forum for special topics and problems. Security administration and management, as a true corporate players, can now take a seat in the boardroom. (Fred Becker, Hilbert College, NY)

1.0 out of 5 stars mediocre; mostly war stories with little content, April 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Successful Security Management (Hardcover)
This book is a mediocre attempt at discussing security issues. Much of it covers basic management ideas and, except for Chapter 6, there is little worth reading. While that one chapter does touch on important security issues, there is very little hard content. I bought the book through the Amazon "hype" but would like my money back. Hopefully, there is something better out there than this feeble effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, recommended reading for all Security Leaders, May 6, 1999
By 
wcw717@aol.com (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Successful Security Management (Hardcover)
As a paid government consultant, I have used this fine work of art as a constant companion in handling security related matters. This text is an excellent "technical assistant," for those who want to establish themselves as leaders instead of followers. Dennis's insight,knowledge and experience is a complete "resevoir of knowledge," that you can drink from again and again.
