[Spooks] [OT] good book on crypto?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi 1234567890:

The Code Breakers by David Kahn is in my opinion the classic.
The Ultra Secret by Frederick William Winterbotham was the first mention 
I know of about breaking enigma.
The Puzzle Palace, by James Bamford was the first book about what the 
NSA does.
If these spark your interest then I have more listed at:

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
