General works
- Kahn, David. (1974) The Codebreakers: The Story of Secret Writing. First serious book on NSA, although its publication reflected some compromises about not printing US-UK history and relationships. 2nd Edition is disappointing; it just appends a chapter on US-UK WWII cryptanalysis, rather than revising all relevant sections in the book. First chapter, "One Day of MAGIC", about communications intelligence on December 7, 1941, is a fantastic suspense story even if one knows how it comes out.
- Bamford, James. (1983) The Puzzle Palace: Inside the National Security Agency, America's Most Secret Intelligence Organization. Informative, but Bamford obviously wasn't thinking of the National Reconnaissance Office or whatever the Intelligence Support Activity is now called.
- Bamford, James. (2002) Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency
Biographies
- Clark, Ronald W. The Man who Broke Purple. Biography of William F. Friedman, including his NSA years.
