About this book
Reviews
“It is an important contribution to both the history of the war and the history of cryptanalysis development, as well as an interesting text on techniques of cryptography and cryptanalysis. … The book is well written and reads well. It is well referenced with myriad footnotes. I admire and recommend it.” (Mordechai Ben-Menachem, Computing Reviews, April, 2015)
