tome, 'The Codebreakers', 1st.edition, 1967.

Perhaps, this led to the DD's actions in '68 ?


Quite... when Kahn's book detailing the history of communications
intelligence hit the street is caused quite a sensation---especially within
the NSA.

Remarks of David Kahn
Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the
National Security Agency

November 1, 2002

Who'd have thunk that I would ever be here, addressing an NSA audience?
Because when my book, The Codebreakers, was published in 1967, just 35 years
and one month ago, it became the subject of a ban on the part of the
National Security Agency. A notice was circulated here at Fort Meade and was
sent to all NSA outposts worldwide. The book was never to be mentioned. It
was never to be acknowledged when the media - or anybody else -- asked about
it, as at cocktail parties....
