"Lots of very interesting stuff in here. Might be the best book I've read so far on the topic of espionage, signals and human intelligence, cryptography and so on. It is somewhat fascinating how some nations made these things priorities (UK) and others (e.g. Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan) not, mostly to their detriment." — Aug 23, 2025 12:38AM

-M. Gustave, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)”
― Wes Anderson, The Grand Budapest Hotel: The Illustrated Screenplay
