Congress's Cryptographer: A Novel of Revolutionary War Cryptography, Code Breaking, and the Forgotten Founder Who Helped Win American Independence - Softcover
Synopsis
RECOGNIZED BY THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY'S CENTER FOR CRYPTOLOGIC HISTORY "James Lovell is a landmark figure in the history of American cryptanalysis and cryptography, and a model for present and future generations." — NSA Center for Cryptologic History. He kept America's secrets. He broke Britain's codes. History forgot his name. As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of its founding, Congress's Cryptographer brings to life the most important Revolutionary War figure you have never heard of — James Lovell, America's first de facto Secretary of Foreign Affairs, master cryptographer, and the man whose code-breaking helped seal victory at Yorktown. In this meticulously researched work of American Revolution historical fiction, Jean C. O'Connor draws on primary sources — the actual records of the Continental Congress, real letters written by Lovell and his contemporaries, and genuine 18th-century cipher documents — to tell the story of the man who stood at the intersection of diplomacy, espionage, and revolution. James Lovell designed the ciphers that protected communications between the Continental Congress and Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and other diplomats in Europe. He interviewed Lafayette. He corresponded with Abigail Adams. And in 1781, as American and French forces surrounded Cornwallis at Yorktown, a captured British letter arrived at Congress— encoded in cipher. The answer could change the course of the war. And James Lovell held the key.
Congress's Cryptographer includes images of actual historical ciphers — real cipher keys created by Lovell for Franklin, Adams, and other diplomats, sourced from the American Philosophical Society, the Clements Library, and the Papers of the Continental Congress. This is primary source history, brought to life in a novel for the first time. 4.89 stars from 75 verified readers. Perfect for fans of Revolutionary War fiction, cryptography history, forgotten founders, and Abigail Adams. If you love American Revolution historical fiction that goes beyond Washington and Adams — if you want the secret history, the codes, the diplomacy, and the forgotten heroes — Congress's Cryptographer is the book you have been waiting for.

About the Author
A few lines in her grandmother's journal inspired Jean C. O'Connor's interest in James Lovell, her five times great-grandfather. Her novels in the series The Story of James Lovell: Forgotten Founder, British Prisoner, Congressman during the Revolution, and Cryptographer Who Helped Win American Independence, meticulously researched and written with a storyteller's eye for human complexity, bring to life the patriots whose contributions shaped a nation but whose names have faded from memory.The series: The Remarkable Cause: A Novel of James Lovell and the Crucible of the Revolution (Post Hill Press, 2021) and Congress's Cryptographer: A Novel of Revolutionary War Cryptography, Code Breaking, and the Forgotten Founder Who Helped Win American Independence (Mountain Pine Press, 2026). Congress's Cryptographer is her tribute to the spies, code-breakers, and invisible patriots who secured independence with quills, ciphers, and unflinching resolve. The Remarkable Cause brings to life a patriot deeply committed to serving his country, despite circumstances. A retired teacher, Jean received the NCTE High School Teacher of Excellence Award.James Lovell has been called "the Revolution's one-man National Security Agency" by William Friedman, long time director of the National Security Agency. Lovell was a teacher at the Boston Latin School, prisoner of the British for spying following the Battle of Bunker Hill, and congressman for five years during the Revolution. For his work with cryptography during the American Revolution while in Congress, James Lovell has been honored by induction into the National Security Agency's 2023 Cryptologic Hall of Honor, an honor Jean gratefully accepted.Jean's many presentations include a lesson for the Museum of the American Revolution, Philadelphia, a webinar for Fort Ticonderoga, and the Schorreck Lecture at the National Cryptologic Museum, National Security Agency, Fort Meade, MD.
