Synopsis:
This historical book, written by historians of the Army Security Agency, covers the renaissance period of American cryptography. Text includes photo-reproductions of many American military codes used during World War I, instructions for their use, cryptographic reports, etc., and the solution of a previously unsolved historical problem, as well as the reconstruction of a code used by President Woodrow Wilson for his personal correspondence. The book discusses in some depth the founding of the Cipher Bureau (MI-8). This secret organization, founded by Herbert O. Yardley, later became known as the American Black Chamber. Text includes an index.
