Provides an unparalleled glimpse into Army codebreaking in World War II.--John Prados, author of Combined Fleet Decoded: The Secret History of American Intelligence and the Japanese Navy in World War IIImaginatively written, thoroughly documented, and brilliantly comprehensive. Fills a significant gap in intelligence literature.--Carl Boyd, author of Hitler's Japanese Confidant: General Oshima Hiroshi and MAGIC Intelligence, 1941-1945 An important and pioneering work that will be essential reading for any student of cryptology, or of intelligence during the Second World War.--John Ferris, author of Intelligence and Strategy David Alvarez packs a lot into this rather short, brilliantly written and argued account of the US signals intelligence (Sigint) effort against foreign diplomatic communications. A must-read.--Intelligence and National SecurityAlvarez recaptures the wartime spirit of the Army code-breakers with verve and vigour. He tells us of SIS's sometimes bizarre and often obfuscating security arrangements; the perpetual bureaucratic infighting for more people, more space, more money; the role of women and minorities; and how people coped with their new experiences. In sort, he puts a human face on the heretofore impersonal code-breakers, giving the book an added dimension that makes it unique.--International History Review Secret Messages is a badly needed history of the origins of modern American signals intelligence.--H-Net Reviews A valuable contribution to the diplomatic history of this era.--Journal of Military History
