Flattered... but I'm afraid my 'Armas de Grecia y Roma' does not really include Etruscans.
AFAIK there is nop good recent introductory synthesis to the subject. I include, however, a list of useful titles, most of them scholarly but legible.
I have concentrated on Etruscans, so left Early Romans, Samnites and the like...
Hope this is useful. Yes, I know you asked for a single refertence book... but I cannot provide it except for Stary's (too scholarly) or Fossati's (too Osprey). For a rather general introduction, I'd probably settle for Spivey's chapter
