Network Security Secrets and Solutions
by Stuart McClure
A dense, tool-oriented manual that combines attack case studies with step-by-step defensive techniques. Chapters cover modern vectors — advanced persistent threats, infrastructure hacks, industrial automation and embedded devices — and often dig into command-line examples, network diagrams and configuration snippets you can adapt in operations. Use it as a technical reference or to flesh out incident-response playbooks; the limitation is heavy detail and tool-specific walkthroughs that slow narrative flow and can feel dated if read cover-to-cover.

Consider Accidental Presidents by Jared Cohen. Recommended by 10 sources.
“Accidental Presidents offers eight narrative portraits of men who succeeded to the U.S. presidency without election, using anecdote-rich scenes and readable context to show how personality and circumstance interact with office power. It’s strongest as a set of self-contained stories that make succession stakes concrete for non-specialist readers; it does not prioritize dense archival argument or exhaustive methodology, so expect some interpretive generalizations and repeated themes across cases. Use it for fast historical orientation rather than scholarly deep-dives.”
