Sample Book Insights:

#1 The United States had two agencies that decoded intercepted communications: one in the army and one in the navy. This arrangement may have made the maximum number of bureaucrats happy, but it sometimes led to counterproductive results.

#2 The Government Code Cypher School was created in 1919 to decode messages between the German government and its agents. It was headed by Denniston, who had never run anything before. He disliked anything to do with bureaucracy and administration, but he was needed to decode the messages.

#3 In the early 1920s, the German military began to build up its army beyond the limit set by the Treaty of Versailles. It built secret flying clubs and sent its officers and crews abroad for training.

#4 Hitler had promised the German military that he would purge the SA, his enforcers, in exchange for their support. In June 1934, the officers began executing SA leaders and others deemed suspect. Hitler claimed that 74 people had been killed, but unofficial estimates were much higher.
