Jargon-free guide to codes
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Other than the bibliography, the book is weak.

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.

This book was great! Easy to understand and learn for someone who has some prior knowledge of ciphering and coding.
