'I must mention a problem that faces any author who tackles the subject of cryptography: the science of secrecy is largely a secret science.' 🤣

This is a nonfiction book about the evolution of secret codes and cryptography. Sometimes truth is more interesting than fiction. I dare you to read this and NOT be inspired to become 007!
