This book was a good read and very informative. I've been administrator for awhile but never paid much attention to security. This got me up to speed fast.
Very well written, but a little paranoid

I think that Mr. Sheldon has the concepts of NT security down cold, but he needs to understand that most of us do not work for the CIA or NSA. Most of the examples and suggestions were very helpful, but if implemented would have resulted in a completed paranoid and limited use system. Good prose, great examples..
