Cipher/Code of Dishonor; Aaron Burr, an American Enigma
Author: Alan J. Clark, M.D.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1420846396
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
Trinity: The Burrs versus Alexander Hamilton and the United States of America will be the first book to draw on unreported documents and genealogical information to reveal an unprecedented look into the relationships of Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, Trinity Church Corporation and the Loyalists of Manhattan Island. Author Alan J. Clark shows in new perspective the battles and intrigues leading beyond the American Revolutionary War. With the melding of genealogy and timeline analysis Clark examines some of the intriguing ciphered letters of Aaron Burr to his daughter Theodosia, and looks again at Burr’s curious and complex war time exploits to determine where his Loyalist tendencies actually began. Clark further examines the land leases then traded prior, during, and after the war as speculation, or possibly as rewards from the English Crown for services performed in its favor in the colonies primarily through the Corporation of Trinity Church. The economics of early Manhattan and the Atlantic colonies were bolstered by the complex and secular behavior of the Corporation of Trinity Church acting as land bank for the Loyalists to the Throne of England. Clark appears to fill in the gaps in many recently published tomes by delving deeper into the actions of Burr and Hamilton, examining their extensive familial connections and behaviors to arrive at a complex web of intricacy bringing to life American History at its most personal level. This book does not reiterate the well worn paths of American History. Instead, it brings a crisp new approach that makes sense of seemingly insignificant, disjointed and inconsistent stories of the early history of our country.

The Codebreakers
Author: David Kahn
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439103550
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1307
Book Description
The magnificent, unrivaled history of codes and ciphers -- how they're made, how they're broken, and the many and fascinating roles they've played since the dawn of civilization in war, business, diplomacy, and espionage -- updated with a new chapter on computer cryptography and the Ultra secret. Man has created codes to keep secrets and has broken codes to learn those secrets since the time of the Pharaohs. For 4,000 years, fierce battles have been waged between codemakers and codebreakers, and the story of these battles is civilization's secret history, the hidden account of how wars were won and lost, diplomatic intrigues foiled, business secrets stolen, governments ruined, computers hacked. From the XYZ Affair to the Dreyfus Affair, from the Gallic War to the Persian Gulf, from Druidic runes and the kaballah to outer space, from the Zimmermann telegram to Enigma to the Manhattan Project, codebreaking has shaped the course of human events to an extent beyond any easy reckoning. Once a government monopoly, cryptology today touches everybody. It secures the Internet, keeps e-mail private, maintains the integrity of cash machine transactions, and scrambles TV signals on unpaid-for channels. David Kahn's The Codebreakers takes the measure of what codes and codebreaking have meant in human history in a single comprehensive account, astonishing in its scope and enthralling in its execution. Hailed upon first publication as a book likely to become the definitive work of its kind, The Codebreakers has more than lived up to that prediction: it remains unsurpassed. With a brilliant new chapter that makes use of previously classified documents to bring the book thoroughly up to date, and to explore the myriad ways computer codes and their hackers are changing all of our lives, The Codebreakers is the skeleton key to a thousand thrilling true stories of intrigue, mystery, and adventure. It is a masterpiece of the historian's art.

The Tenerife Alternative
Author: Cranley Harding
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326655698
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
The year was 1935 - and with fascism threatening and a civil war in Spain looming it was turbulent times ahead for Sir James McKay, chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service. However, these events paled into insignificance compared with a compromised Berlin operation. His deep-cover agent, a German scientist working on the advanced Enigma coding machine, was missing. To add to his woes Hitler had violated the Treaty of Versailles and was giving succour to the Spanish Nationalist Government and expecting payment in return. This payment Sir James reasoned would be access through Spain to Gibraltar. Should this happen he had an alternative plan - Tenerife. Unfortunately, it transpired that Hitler had thought similarly and beaten him to the Canary Island archipelago. Enter Sir James' protégé, the suave, womanising, but lethal Scott Rutherford to unravel Sir James' woes.
