Fast and Efficient Algorithms in Computational Electromagnetics (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library)

Summary: A high-level overview of advanced CEM techniques
Review: This book is a summary of research projects on advanced computational electromagnetics projects that were performed at the University of Illinois in the last ten years.

This is not a bad book, and touches the concepts at a high level and gives you a flavor of what they can do. There would still be however a lot of hard work on the reader's part to learn about and implement what is talked about here.

Some warnings: If you are not already very familiar with advanced electromagnetics analysis and computational algorithms this book will lose you very quickly. It covers topics such as the Fast Multipole Method at a very high level and expects the reader to have a strong background in electromagnetic waves and subjects such as the electromagnetic Method of Moments. These are Ph.D.-level topics at a bare minimum.

This book is of most interest to those invoved in the design and implementation of electromagnetic solver codes. If you are an undergraduate in EM, or just a casual reader of things electromagnetic, you're better off without this one.
