5.0 out of 5 stars Jargon-free guide to codes, September 28, 2000
By 
Tony Lesce (Albuquerque, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Code Making and Code Breaking (Paperback)
This book is short and sweet. Using non-technical language, Luger describes the various types of code-making techniques in common use, and moves on to lay out how code-breakers ply their trade. This is an excellent book for the beginner because it presents the material in a conversational manner, without ponderous jargon and without overwhelming the reader with technical terms or with arcane mathematics. In short, you won't get bogged down reading this book, as you might with more advanced texts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Other than the bibliography, the book is weak., July 13, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Code Making and Code Breaking (Paperback)
A very superficial and not too well written overview of cryptography. The best part of the book is the bibliography. Save yourself the $11, and take David Kahn's "The Code- Breakers" out from your public library. Unfortunately, it according to 'amazon.com' is out of print.
