Jeff,
WWII cryptanalysis is my new favorite reading topic. If you have not read
The Ultra Secretby F. W. Winterbotham, it should be your next book. This
book covers how we (US and GB) used intellegence obtained from Ultra and
is the only such book I've found. All the rest deal with the how of "code
breaking".
My current read is "Code Girls" by Liza Mundy dealing with American women
worked on crypography in from about 1915 to post WWII. Other books include
"The Hut 6 Story" and "The Colossus Computer (1943-1996): And How it
Helped
to Break the German Lorenz Cipher in WWII" by Tony Sale.
Facinating stuff to pass the time during lock down.
Jim
