• Unlike high-level languages such as Java and C++, assembly language is much closer to the machine code that actually runs computers; it's used to create programs or modules that are very fast and efficient, as well as in hacking exploits and reverse engineering
  
• Covering assembly language in the Pentium microprocessor environment, this code-intensive guide shows programmers how to create stand-alone assembly language programs as well as how to incorporate assembly language libraries or routines into existing high-level applications
  
• Demonstrates how to manipulate data, incorporate advanced functions and libraries, and maximize application performance
  
• Examples use C as a high-level language, Linux as the development environment, and GNU tools for assembling, compiling, linking, and debugging

Best practical book on assembly language around
This the the book to get if you want to learn assembly using AT&T syntax. Even if you wind up using the Intel syntax this would still be helpful.

It is nice because it covers things which assembly language books sometimes leave out: assembly debugging, floating point assembly, inline assembly, system calls, combining c/c++ and assembly, and MMX/SIMD instructions.
