Fascinating and quite enlightening as to the secret codes used throughout time. Some are still being tried to be broke, while others are still being used. Some were basically language before the use of the alphabet we now have. Symbols, mostly. But the codes used during wars are rather intriguing, how they were created, and how they managed to, for the most part, remain viable.
I won’t say I’m a Robert Langdon now, but I did figure out a few of the puzzles they had.

I seem to have purchased several of this style books over the last two months. I am on a puzzle solving kick. Perhaps the heat has drained away all my concentration with my sweat. It was fun to tackle hidden messages and see if I could break the code.
