The Code Book: The Secret History of Codes and Code-Breaking

The Code Book: The Secret History of Codes and Code-Breaking - Simon Singh I remember being very much at awe, reading about Fermat's Last Theorem (same author), but this book really didn't tell me anything new, except for some historical gossip on important figures in the history of cryptography. Probably, having a degree in mathematics and computer science doesn't help in appreciating this book... :-)
