[Milsurplus] "War Secrets in the Ether" 1914-1918

[Hubert Miller]

I still have an 'Aegen Press' catalog from year 2002. As i recall, they were
'reorganizing' back then and not all titles were available. 

For the cryptology and communications intelligence enthusiast reader, there
were some tantalizing titles offered. Some of these 

are listed here:

It looks like Aegean is long gone now and the books must be acquired from
pre-read book sellers at collector item prices.

One exception is "War Secrets in the Ether"; a PDF courtesy of the N.S.A. of
the U.S. Gov't.   

Yes, N.S.A.

This is an around 280 page document. I had expected and hoped for WWII
subject matter, but the text deals with communications intercept 

and decoding in the 'Great War' 1914-1918 in depth. From around page 200 on,
it deals with the same subject in the interwar years, up thru the

mid 1930s. No actual WWII material. I thought i'd pass these links along
though; perhaps there are some readers here who are interested in this

history. Also, since the description in the Aegean catalog - and maybe
picked up in other current booklists - is not clear about the lack of WWII

subject matter, this might save someone spending substantial money for the
book. Looking at the PDF closed out, finally, after so many years, my

curiosity about the book.
