Description

This sensational book, edited by NSA and CIA officers, reveals U.S. "code-breaking" successes in reading KGB and GRU messages during the Cold War. The cryptanalytic efforts of NSA, termed the Venona project, succeeded in dramatically tearing away the veil of secrecy surrounding Soviet intelligence and espionage. Venona breakthroughs -- described in detail -- played a significant role in exposing and confirming the espionage activities of Soviet agents such as the Rosenbergs, Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, and others. Aegean Park Press has added a lengthy index to the text, as well as additional monographs with pictures concerning the great significance of the Venona project. -- Amazon.com.
