Less technical than most books shared here, but highly relevant if you're interested in the recon and manipulation layer of attacks.

It covers the full spectrum from individual phishing to nation-state influence operations. Pretty academic in tone and grounded in real case studies (FBI takedowns, BEC attacks, election interference, insider threats).

Useful context for CTF challenges involving OSINT and phishing scenarios, and for understanding the non-technical attack surface when doing real-world pentesting. Pairs well with the OSCP/social engineering modules on HTB Academy for exemple.

! Not a hands-on hacking guide tho ! More of a strategic/analytical lens. Worth a read if you want to round out the human factor side.
