As the recent AfD is now closed and my proposal to split the article wasn't discussed enough to achieve consensus, I'm reviving it here.

From the closer's statement:

Teratix's proposal to "out-source" the coverage here to articles about the books would also deserve serious consideration as it'd address both Wikipedia's scope to catalogue encyclopedic topics and BLP issues; it just didn't receive enough discussion here to be deemed the consensus.

My original comment:

Is it possible the article's subject could be switched to Maness's book Cyber War Versus Cyber Realities? I think that would be a good compromise since that seems to be his most notable work and it passes the first criterion of WP:NBOOK.

(Obviously, multiple articles could be written). – Teratix ₵ 11:35, 6 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

It has been over a month so I will do this tomorrow. – Teratix ₵ 13:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
