Singh, Simon, The code book: the secret history of codes and code-breaking

A good basic introduction to codes and ciphers, but not as comprehensive as Kahn's Codebreakers.

Singh is very good at explaining complex mathematical concepts in plain English.

Singh, Simon. The code book: the secret history of codes and code-breaking. 1999, Fourth Estate, London. paperback . 402 pages.

ISBN ISBN 1-85702-889-9 .
