Abstract
word in the describes the majority of the contents of this book. On the 132 pages, there are 107 images; nearly all the are at least half-page and many are full-page. Most images are of pages of documents The National Kew. The back cover blurb states that the “ book reveals the story of British codebreakers ” and “ ends with a re-assessment of the work undertaken by the British code breaker and mathematician Alan Turing. ” The book is not that dra-matic; the text describes well-known stories of twentieth century codebreaking and the now common view of the work and life of Alan Turing.
期刊介绍:
Cryptologia is the only scholarly journal in the world dealing with the history, the technology, and the effect of the most important form of intelligence in the world today - communications intelligence. It fosters the study of all aspects of cryptology -- technical as well as historical and cultural. The journal"s articles have broken many new paths in intelligence history. They have told for the first time how a special agency prepared information from codebreaking for President Roosevelt, have described the ciphers of Lewis Carroll, revealed details of Hermann Goering"s wiretapping agency, published memoirs - written for it -- of some World War II American codebreakers, disclosed how American codebreaking affected the structure of the United Nations.
