Evidently a first-rate cryptographer, Yardley gives a fascinating account of the deciphering of messages between Germany and Mexico, and of dispatches which brought a death sentence to Pablo Waberski.

Compiled as engineers would make notations on a drawing, the mass of material is difficult to assimilate...
