Codebreaking and Signals Intelligence: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Codebreaking and Signals Intelligence" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Despite publicity given to the successes of British and American codebreakers during the Second World War, the study of signals intelligence is still complicated by governmental secrecy over even the most elderly peacetime sigint. This book, first published in 1986, lifts the veil on some of these historical secrets. Christopher Andrew and Keith Neilson cast new light on how Tsarist codebreakers penetrated British code and cypher systems. John Chapmans study of German military codebreaking represents a major advance in our understanding of cryptanalysis during the Weimar Republic. The history of the Government Code and Cypher School - forerunner of todays GCHQ - by its operational head, the late A.G. Denniston, provides both a general assessment of the achievements of British cryptanalysis between the wars and a tantalising glimpse of what historians may one day find in GCHQs forbidden archives. The distinguished cryptanalyst of Bletchley Park, the late Gordon Welchman, describes in detail how the Ultra programme defeated the German Enigma machine, while another Bletchley Park cryptographer, Christopher Morris, reminds us in his account of the valuable work on hand cyphers that wartime sigint consisted of much more than Ultra. Roger Austins study of surveillance under the Vichy regime shows the continuing importance of older and simpler methods of message interception such as letter-opening. Taken together, the articles establish sigint as an essential field of study for both the modern historian and the political scientist.

In 1914 he became one of the first recruits to Room 40 OB, the cryptanalytical unit in the Admiralty. From 1919 to 1942 he was head of the Government Code and Cypher School. After leaving Bletchley Park in 1942, he headed a civil cryptanalytical unit in London until his retirement in 1945.
Christopher Morris is now retired after many years teaching history at Kings College, Cambridge, of which he is a Fellow. During the Second World War he worked at Bletchley Park on German naval ciphers. His publications cover a wide historical span from Plato to Montesquieu and from Shakespeares politics to bubonic plague. His most recent book is a new edition of The Illustrated Journeys of Celia Fiennes (London: Macdonald, 1982).
Dr Keith Neilson is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, Ontario. He is the author of Strategy and Supply: The Anglo-Russian Alliance (London: Allen & Unwin, 1984) and of a number of articles on modern British and Russian history.

He is now a US citizen.
CHRISTOPHER ANDREW
This collection of essays is mainly devoted to the most important form of twentieth-century intelligence gathering before the emergence of the spy satellite: signals intelligence (sigint) derived from various technologies of interception and the work of codebreakers and cryptanalysts. The final article, however, is a reminder of the continued importance of much more traditional forms of message interception. The ancient, if often dubious, art of the letter-opener still survives in an intelligence era increasingly dominated by ever more sophisticated means of technical collection.
