Summary: Excellent Book... A+++
Review: Covers every thing that an administrator needs to know about setting up a perimeter security. This book is so well written that it fits into the needs of a beginner as well as an advanced security professional. I work as a security consultant and my girl friend is in school studying Masters in computer science. Buying this book helped both of us to gain a better perspective on security... This book is a MUST buy for security consultants...

Summary: Good Introduction to Security
Review: This book talk extensively about security architectures, but, it falls short to live up to the expectations of a security administrator who is looking for refrence implementation. There is a lot of theory in this book. The explanations of certain aspects of security architecture is well written (like subnet architectures, bastion hosts). I would have given a five star if the book also provided extensive reference-implementations for different types of security setup in Windows domain.
