IMHO that's an adequate Firewalls book (although Chapman & Zwicky is arguably
a better coverage of firewalling concepts, without the Linux specifics),
however I wouldn't say that Ziegler fits the OP's request for "a good Linux
security book", as it doesn't discuss host hardening or application
vulnerability testing.
I would recommend Hacking Linux Exposed by Hatch, Lee & Kurtz: Osborne /
McGraw Hill, 0-07-212773-2 and Maximum Linux Security by Anonymous: Sams,
0-672-31670-6.
