'...It's welcome to have this book, brimming with ideas by someone with academic rigour...I have to stress what a wide-ranging, assured and thought-provoking read this is for the UK (and indeed Irish and other English-speaking) security person...this is a first stop for picking up ideas and quotes. There aren't many published books out there that the security manager ought to have on his shelf...One of them is Prof Martin Gill's Handbook of Security...Doing Security is another...That's the stature of this.' Professional Security
