There are many books on agile and Scrum. Most describe what agile is and how agile teams work.
This book is different. It is not focused on the teams, but on managers. It describes what agile and Scrum is in the language spoken by managers. Explains subjects that are important for managers, such as targets and KPIs, the ROI of Scrum, organizational structure and leadership.
It is also a practical guide for managers, which describes what they can do to ensure that Scrum teams can be successful. Provides ideas for their contribution in an agile transition and what they can do to anchor agile processes in the organization.
A downside of the book is that it's only about Scrum. Although Scrum is the most common agile framework, it is not the only one. There are many practices that organizations can use to increase agility. My feeling is that focusing on Scrum gives a one-sided view, and leaves out some valuable stuff.
Nevertheless, I recommend this book to managers and to engineers, architects, tech leads, product owners, basically everyone dealing with agile. Read it and use the knowledge inside to your advantage!
