[Milsurplus] David Kahn's "Seizing the Enigma"

[Thomas Linbeck]

To all,

 

David Kahn published a follow-on book entitled Seizing the Enigma, copyright
1991, published by Barnes and Nobel, ISBN 0-7607-0863-0 (casebound) and ISBN
0-7607-2672-8 (paperback).   The book deals with the race to break the
German U-Boat codes, 1939-1943.  If you are interested in the Enigma and its
history, the book is worth reading.  I found it at B&N, but it might be in
you local library.

 

73,

Tom, K4TEU

Mr. T and the group,

 

Kahn's The Codebrakers is still listed on Amazon.com at $44.10, delivery in 

1 to 4 weeks.

It's a fine survey with a good history of codes and ciphers.

Most/all of his other books appear to be unavailable, except on the used 

book market.

73,

David W1TDD
