- Synopsis
- "Codebreaker chronicles the story of codes -- from Julius Caesar and Mary Queen of Scots to quantum cryptography and the next generation -- and the historical events that have turned on them. But however eye-opening are the inner workings of the Caesar shift cipher or the codes of the Navajo Windtalkers, even more intriguing is the allure of unsolved codes. Codebreaker profiles some of those hailed as unbreakable, such as the magnificent Dorabella and Beale Ciphers and the Voynich manuscript." --BOOK JACKET.
