Fort George G. Meade, MD: National Security Agency, Center for Cryptologic History, 203. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], 31, [3] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Cryptography was used extensively during World War II, with a plethora of code and cipher systems fielded by the nations involved. In addition, the theoretical and practical aspects of cryptanalysis, or codebreaking, was much advanced. Probably the most important codebreaking event of the war was the successful decryption by the Allies of the German "Enigma" Cipher. The first complete break into Enigma was accomplished by Poland around 1932; the techniques and insights used were passed to the French and British Allies just before the outbreak of the war in 1939. They were substantially improved by British efforts at the Bletchley Park research station during the war. Decryption of the Enigma Cipher allowed the Allies to read important parts of German radio traffic on important networks and was an invaluable source of military intelligence throughout the war. More

Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 2012. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xviii, 298, [4] pages. Author's Notes. Introduction, Sixteen Chapters. Postscript. Notes. About the Author. Index. Andrew Peter Napolitano (born June 6, 1950) is an American syndicated columnist. He was an analyst for Fox News. He has written nine books on legal and political subjects. Napolitano subscribes to a natural law jurisprudence. Napolitano's philosophy generally leans towards strong originalism while not accepting the limitations of the type of originalism espoused by Justice Antonin Scalia with respect to the Constitution's open-ended provisions like the Ninth Amendment. He finds such limitations too restricting on a judge's ability to apply the natural law to decide cases where the liberty of the individual is at stake. He argues that Lochner v. New York was overruled in error, as the Contracts Clause and the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment due process clauses protect a sphere of personal economic liberty. More

New York: Simon & Schuster, 2017. First Simon & Schuster Hardcover Edition [Stated]. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 385, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Cloth bookmark stating "Compliments of James Nichols" laid in. Revealed for the first time, this is the full story of how President Dwight Eisenhower masterminded the downfall of the anti-Communist demagogue Senator Joseph McCarthy. Behind the scenes, Eisenhower loathed McCarthy, the powerful Republican senator notorious for his anti-Communist witch hunt. In spite of a public perception that Eisenhower was unwilling to challenge McCarthy, Ike believed that directly confronting the senator would diminish the presidency. Therefore, the president operated with a hidden hand, refusing even to mention the Senator's name. In Ike and McCarthy, David A Nichols shows how the tension between the two men escalated. In a direct challenge to Eisenhower, McCarthy alleged that the US Army was harboring communists and launched an investigation. But the senator had unwittingly signed his own political death warrant. David A. Nichols, a leading expert on the Eisenhower presidency, holds a Ph.D. in history from the College of William and Mary. A former professor and academic dean at Southwestern College, he is the author of A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution; Eisenhower 1956: The President’s Year of Crisis; and Ike and McCarthy: Dwight Eisenhower’s Secret Campaign against Joseph McCarthy; as well as other books.
