Reviews:

• ...This unique work will have a wider audience than the title would suggest because signals intelligence, especially as manifested in ULTRA and MAGIC decryptions of intercepts of the German ENIGMA and Japanese Purple codes, was involved in many important battles and controversial issues of WWII. Sexton discusses these and related topics and provides excellent context in concise and informative abstracts to nearly all the approximately 830 citations.... For academic and research libraries.

• A thoughtfully organized annotated bibliography of WWII signal intelligence divided into four chapters. Sexton has made a valuable contribution to the history of WWII, and students, researchers, and military and cryptology buffs will find it extremely helpful.

• [H]istorians of the era who turn to it may find that Prof. Sexton identifies significant material overlooked in conventional bibliographical searches. In a number of cases, moreover, he draws attention to the broader impact and revelance of signals intelligence.
