СКАЧАТЬ Codes, Ciphers and Spies: Tales of Military Intelligence in World War I БЕСПЛАТНО EPUB - DOC - DJVU - RTF - PDFОписание: When the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, it was woefully unprepared to wage a modern war.Whereas their European counterparts already had three years of experience in using code and cipher systems in the war, American cryptologists had to help in the building of a military intelligence unit from scratch.
This book relates the personal experiences of one such character, providing a uniquely American perspective on the Great War. It is a story of spies, coded letters, plots to blow up ships and munitions plants, secret inks, arms smuggling, treason, and desperate battlefield messages. Yet it all begins with a college English professor and Chaucer scholar named John Mathews Manly.
In 1927, John Manly wrote a series of articles on his service in the Code and Cipher Section (MI-8) of the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Division (MID) during World War I.
