Introduction. Cases. A Theory, Clausewitz, and More. Personalities. A Counterfactual and the Future.
David Kahn is universally regarded as the dean of intelligence historians. He is the author of Seizing the Enigma: The Race to Break the German U-Boats Codes, 1939-1943. His pathbreaking book The Codebreakers, the classic history of codemaking and codebreaking remains in stalwart print 45 years after its publication (portions have been updated). He is also the co-founder of the Taylor & Francis journal, Cryptologia, which continues to attract new subscribers.
When it comes to documenting the history of cryptography, David
Kahn is singularly one of the finest, if not the finest writers in
that domain. For anyone with an interest in the topic, Kahn's works
are read in detail and anticipated. ... For those that have read
some of Kahn's other works and are looking for more, How I
Discovered World War IIs Greatest Spy and Other Stories of
Intelligence and Code will be an enjoyable read.
—Ben Rothke, Information Security Manager, Wyndham Worldwide Corp.,
writing on Slashdot.orgHow I Discovered World War II’s Greatest Spy
and Other Stories of Intelligence and Code is the latest book by
the distinguished intelligence historian David Kahn. This volume is
a collection of thirty articles by Kahn, all of which have been
previously published in a variety of publications, but have been
brought together here as they are viewed by Kahn as having enduring
value to intelligence historians and complement his earlier books.
... Kahn offers students of intelligence history a context and
useful starting point for their work. ... an interesting and
worthwhile collection.
—Alan MacLeod, University of Leeds, writing in the Journal of
Military History, July 2014
