February 7, 1930) is a US historian, journalist and writer. He has written extensively on the history of cryptography and military intelligence. Kahn's first published book, The Codebreakers - The Story of Secret Writing (1967), has been widely considered to be a definitive account of the history of cryptography. Kahn has said he traces his interest in cryptography to reading Fletcher Pratt's Secret and Urgent as a boy. Kahn is a founding editor of the Cryptologia journal. In 1969, Kahn married Susanne Fiedler; they are now divorced. They have two sons, Oliver and Michael. He attended Bucknell University. After graduation, he worked as a reporter at Newsday for several years. He also served as an editor at the International Herald Tribune in Paris for two years in the 1960s. It was during this period that he wrote an article for the New York Times Magazine about two defectors from the National Security Agency. This article was the origin of his monumental book, The Codebreakers. The Codebreakers comprehensively chronicles the history of cryptography from ancient Egypt to the time of its writing. It is widely regarded as the best account of the history of cryptography up to its publication. Most of the editing, German translating, and insider contributions were from the American World War II cryptographer, Bradford Hardie III. William Crowell, the former deputy director of the National Security Agency, was quoted in Newsday as saying "Before he (Kahn) came along, the best you could do was buy an explanatory book that usually was too technical and terribly dull." Kahn, then a newspaper journalist, was contracted to write a book on cryptology in 1961. He began writing it part-time, at one point quitting his regular job to work on it full-time. The book was to include information on the National Security Agency (NSA), and according to the author James Bamford writing in 1982, the agency attempted to stop its publication, and considered various options, including publishing a negative review of Kahn's work in the press to discredit him. A committee of the United States Intelligence Board concluded that the book was "a possibly valuable support to foreign COMSEC [communications security] authorities" and recommended "further low-key actions as possible, but short of legal action, to discourage Mr. Kahn or his prospective publishers". Kahn's publisher, the Macmillan company, handed over the manuscript to the federal government for review without Kahn's permission on March 4, 1966. Kahn and Macmillan eventually agreed to remove some material from the manuscript, particularly concerning the relationship between the NSA and its British counterpart, the GCHQ. The Codebreakers was a finalist for the non-fiction Pulitzer Prize in 1968.

Outline:- David Khan - already acknowledged as an expert historian of Intelligence in the Second World War after his earlier books `The Codebreakers` and `Hitler`s Spies`- focuses here on the key struggle to win the Battle of the Atlantic. The Royal Navy and the RAF played vital roles of course in protecting Allied shipping from Nazi submarines and in capturing secret documents and cipher machines but the real Intelligence battle was fought and won at Bletchley Park in rural England where a growing band of eccentrics struggled and finally broke the secret German codes. The size of the whole operation became staggering but without it Britain`s supply lines would have been able to onvade or sue for peace. `Seizing the Enigma` is brilliantly researched and written. It is fitting account and tribute of one of the key struggles of WWII.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Arrow Books Ltd The date of this copy is 1996 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.

Man has created codes to keep secrets and has broken codes to learn those secrets since the time of the Pharaohs.

It was during this period that he wrote an article for the New York Times Magazine about two defectors from the National Security Agency. This article was the origin of his monumental book, The Codebreakers. Kahn was awarded a doctorate (D.Phil.) from Oxford University in 1974, in modern German history under the supervision of Regius professor of modern history, Hugh Trevor-Roper. Kahn continued his work as a reporter and editor for Newsday until 1998, and served as a journalism professor at New York University. Kahn was selected in 1995 to become NSA's scholar-in-residence. On October 26, 2010, Kahn attended am event at NSA's National Cryptologic Museum (NCM) to commemorate his donation of his collection of cryptologic books, memorabilia, and artifacts to the museum. In a sweeping narrative, constructed almost entirely from primary sources, Kahn reveals the inner workings of Nazi intelligence--not just the spies, who often lied, and not just the codebreakers, the most effective instrument, but also the ground patrols and artillery ranging technicians upon whom the frontline generals relied for combat information,the aerial photographers, the corrupt Abwehr, the cool analysts of the general staff, and others. Kahn recounts their tactics at three of the war's most critical events--the invasion of Russia, the landings in North Africa, and the D-Day assault--in this classic of World War II history.

David Kahn (b. February 7, 1930) is an American historian, journalist, and writer. He has written extensively on the history of cryptography and military intelligence. Kahn's first published book, The Codebreakers - The Story of Secret Writing (1967), has been widely considered to be a definitive account of the history of cryptography. David Kahn, a noted historian of codebreaking, provides a specialized part of the decryption story not previously detailed. He underscores the strategic importance of submarine warfare in the Atlantic, giving a balanced account of the ultimate importance of codebreaking in that area. High drama at sea, seizing the German codebooks and equipment, and analytical genius ashore were essential. Kahn describes both of these matching efforts expertly. "An absorbing and thoroughly well documented account" of WWII naval intelligence and the Allied hunt for the Nazi code machine known as the Enigma. From the start of World War II to mid-1943, British and American naval forces fought a desperate battle against German submarine wolfpacks. And the Allies might have lost the struggle at sea without an astounding intelligence coup. Here, the author brings to life the race to break the German U-boat codes. As the Battle of the Atlantic raged, Hitler's U-boats reigned. To combat the growing crisis, ingenious amateurs joined the nucleus of dedicated professionals at Bletchley Park to unlock the continually changing German naval codes. Their mission: to read the U-boat messages of Hitler's cipher device, the Enigma. They first found success with the capture of U-110,-which yielded the Enigma machine itself and a trove of secret documents. Then the weather ship Lauenburg seized near the Arctic ice pack provided code settings for an entire month. Finally, two sailors rescued a German weather cipher that enabled the team at Bletchley to solve the Enigma after a year-long blackout. In "a highly recommended account with a wealth of materials" Seizing the Enigma tells the story of a determined corps of people who helped turn the tide of the war." (Naval Historical Foundation). Derived from a Kirkus review: Ultra was the high-grade intelligence made available to the Allies throughout WW II, thanks to the UK's ability to read many of the Wehrmacht's Enigma ciphers. Messages sent via Kriegsmarine systems, however, were appreciably tougher to decode than those from Enigma machines employed by other branches of the Nazi military. As one result, Hitler's U-boats took a heavy toll on merchant shipping, threatening Great Britain's high-seas lifeline during the early years of the war. Newsday editor Kahn (Kahn on Codes, 1983) offers a wide-ranging appreciation of how the Royal Navy furnished the Oxbridge dons and other boffins posted to England's Bletchley Park the material they needed to decipher submarine signals. In brief, the high command authorized a series of attacks on German weather vessels gathering climatic data offshore Iceland. These forays, plus the fortuitous capture of several U-boats, paid off in up-to-the-minute rundowns on code-wheel settings, which allowed cryptanalysts to read tactical communiqués almost as quickly as sub captains. Consequently, the Admiralty was able to route convoys away from wolfpacks,
