Kahn, David. 1996, Revised edition. 1181 pages.

The Code Breakers is the Bible of historical cryptography (1900 BC to 1965 AD), weighing in at 1181
pages. While the revised edition briefly covers more recent encryption (two key systems, etc) it's
sort of an unnecessary tag on to this great work. I recommend this book for people already
interested in cryptography. No technical background is required.
