Customer Reviews & Comments
If you just want a quick, broad overview of cryptography in the American Revolution then this book should suffice. It was compiled by the Army Signal Corps in 1945 so obviously there is nothing discovered after that included here. Also, as stated in the foreword, there was no original research done in the preparation of this book; it is based on other works, 3 of which appear in the 3 appendixes. Serious Revolutionary War cryptography scholars should turn their attention to the Ralph Weber book, "American Diplomatic Codes" for a much more in-depth analysis.
