Review # 1 was written on 2012-01-30 00:00:00 Stephanie Reichel The puzzle palace is getting a little old, but it still applies. The NSA is one of those government agencies that everybody knows about, except if you ask them what they know they scratch their head and say "not much." Much of the computer things we take for granted today from encryption to managing large data streams, to cloud computing and managing large networks to modern telecom routers was invented at or encouraged by NSA if the truth be known. Puzzle Palace was one of the first books about NSA and their are others now - but this is a good place to start.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-26 00:00:00 Charles Stonehouse Truly mind-boggling. I was blown away when I learned how much the NSA has done over the last few decades...really a page turner. Plus I grew up near there and never quite knew what it was. This is as thrilling as a spy novel with the added shock factor of being true.
