A war hero, and he couldn't tell anyone. Cryptography is the art of SECRET writing, which means will will probably NEVER know many of the twists and turns it's history has taken. But we do know a surprising amount. I recommend Singh's "The Code Book" for an introduction to the history of cryptography that even a non-crypto buff could enjoy. And Kahn is essential for the serious enthusiast.
