<Blatant_Bias_Warning> I am the lead author on the Special Ops book. </Blatant_Bias_Warning>
In Special Ops (www.SpecialOpsSecurity.com) we have a minimum of one case study per chapter. That should help you along. Additionally, the Incident Response books by Osborne are a great read if you are focused on the response part.
The problem I see with your post is that it is VERY broad. Give us some more specifics and I think you will get a better response. For example, who is your audience? Then move into, what is your goal for this data given the audience you selected. Then we should be able to chime in effectively. Otherwise, you can probably expect emails that plug this or that book... Wait! Ummm. Err. Too late. ;)

For 'real life example' I would also recommand the following books:
Addison Wesley - Web Hacking Attacks and Defence [ISBM:0201761769] Prentice Hall PTR - IT Security: Risking the Corporation [ISBN:013101112]
The Prentice book might be exactly what you are looking for.
Hope it help,
