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.
