Groves focuses on the quantum physics of how the trajectory of a charged-particle beam can be discussed in terms of photons. The book is written in a very accessible style with clear exposition of all topics. The author has surpassed the goal he explains in the preface. For graduate students in physics and optics, this text will be invaluable. I anticipate that this book will also find use among senior researchers and physics educators. I plan to assign it to my students.
