I’m currently reading through The Code-Breakers by David Kahn. Firstly, I have to say that anyone named after the nemesis of Captain Kirk has got to write a kewl book. (Yes, I know Kahn was alive well before Star Trek happened, but that’s beside the point.)

In any case the book is very interesting. It reminds me a bit of Simon Singh’s, The Code Book (gee, I wonder why). Kahn’s book is about twelve billion times bigger though, and it weighs enough to create a crater if you drop it. Still, if you like reading up on the history of cryptology I’d recommend it. :-)

Time for me to jump back into it now!
