The "Book of Giants" is an ancient Jewish pseudepigraphal work, which is part of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Here are some key aspects of the "Book of Giants":
This suggests that the "Book of Giants" was a part of the Jewish apocryphal writings.
The book elaborates on the brief biblical mention of the giants.
It includes detailed narratives about the lives, activities, and ultimately the destruction of these giants.
The giants are depicted as engaging in significant battles and possibly corrupting various species on earth.
The "Book of Giants" shares themes and ideas with the "Book of Enoch," particularly the first part of it (1 Enoch 1–36), known as the Book of the Watchers.
These texts together develop the story of the fallen angels (Watchers) and their giant offspring.

It seems Chedorlaomer fought three groups of giants—the Rephaim (the Septuagint actually translates Rephaim in Genesis 14:5 as γίγαντας, “giants”), the Zuzim (which is probably the Zamzummim of Deuteronomy 2:20), and the Emim (Deuteronomy 2:10-11).
The Amorites may also have been giants.
What is all the more fascinating is that Abraham then went and defeated Chedorlaomer—the giant killer—in order to rescue his nephew Lot (Genesis 14:14-17).
Thus Abraham’s victory in Genesis 14 is a foretaste of Joshua’s later victories over the giants in the land of Canaan.
Their association with the Repha'im, a group often characterized as giants or mighty warriors, further emphasizes these themes.
The Zuzim are mentioned alongside the Emim, a tribe later identified in the Book of Deuteronomy as the Moabite term for the Rephaim, a race of giants or mighty people in ancient texts.
