RE: Cyber Law book recommendation?

["Paul Osterwald" <paul () awesometickets net>]

Bruce Schneier - Beyond Fear and Secrets and Lies.  Two excellent books.  He
is the founder and CEO of Counterpane and publishes one of the widest read
infosec newsletters crypto-gram.  He also wrote the excellent book Applied
Cryptography about 10 years ago which details how codes are made and broken.

Hope to see more recommendations.
Thanks.
