Book Description
During the 1920s Herbert O. Yardley was chief of the first peacetime cryptanalytic organization in the United States, the ancestor of today's National Security Agency. Funded by the U.S. Army and the Department of State and working out of New York, his small and highly secret unit succeeded in breaking the diplomatic codes of several nations, including Japan. The decrypts played a critical role in U.S. diplomacy. Despite its extraordinary successes, the Black Chamber, as it came to known, was disbanded in 1929. President Hoover's new Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson refused to continue its funding with the now-famous comment, "Gentlemen do not read other people's mail." In 1931 a disappointed Yardley caused a sensation when he published this book and revealed to the world exactly what his agency had done with the secret and illegal cooperation of nearly the entire American cable industry. These revelations and Yardley's right to publish them set into motion a conflict that continues to this day: the right to freedom of expression versus national security. In addition to offering an exposé on post-World War I cryptology, the book is filled with exciting stories and personalities.

Book Description
Rabindranath Tagore's 'The King of the Dark Chamber' is a play that delves into themes of love, power, and self-realization. Tagore's lyrical and poetic writing style, characteristic of his other works, adds a timeless quality to the play. Set in a mythical kingdom, the play follows the story of a princess who falls in love with a mysterious man hidden away in a dark chamber. As their love unfolds, the audience is taken on a journey of discovery and enlightenment. Tagore's use of symbolism and metaphor enriches the literary context of the play, making it a profound and thought-provoking read. As a Nobel laureate in Literature, Rabindranath Tagore's deep understanding of human emotions and relationships shines through in 'The King of the Dark Chamber'. His own experiences with love and spiritual awakening likely influenced the creation of this timeless piece. Tagore's unique perspective as a philosopher and poet adds depth to the characters and themes explored in the play. I highly recommend 'The King of the Dark Chamber' to readers who appreciate poetic and philosophical works that explore the complexities of love and self-discovery. Tagore's masterpiece offers a captivating narrative that will linger in the reader's mind long after the final act.
