Crypto
History
Steven Levy's narrative history of the crypto wars, the cypherpunks and academics — Diffie and Hellman among them — who wrested cryptography from the NSA's grip into the public domain. Martin Hellman recommends it as a more recent history that includes his own fight with the NSA over the freedom to publish.

“Steven Levy's Crypto is a more recent history, which includes both public key and an account of my fight with NSA over the freedom to publish my papers. Both are great reads…”
Same Stanford reading handout; Hellman recommends Levy's history of the crypto wars — which itself profiles him — as a great read for a general audience.
