About this Item

A 608 page work; one point of view is that Code Names gives people information they ought to have in a democracy. Another point of view is that Code Names is perhaps the most concentrated act of defiance of official secrecy policies since Howard Morland wrote about 'The H Bomb Secret' in The Progressive in 1979, drawing a government injunction to block publication. At any rate, all this information is now in the public arena and available for study by whomever. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality cover. A very nice copy, in a very nice dust jacket. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box!
