Sinossi

Code Breaking explores the fascinating history and strategic importance of deciphering secret communications, from ancient methods to modern cybersecurity. This interdisciplinary study reveals how cryptography and cryptanalysis have shaped military power and international relations. Did you know that code breaking existed long before computers? The book examines early methods of cryptography and cryptanalysis, providing context for understanding the quantum leaps made during and after World War II, including Allied efforts at Bletchley Park and the Enigma machine.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with fundamental concepts and moving through key historical episodes like the Zimmerman Telegram and the breaking of Japanese codes during World War II. A significant portion is dedicated to modern cybersecurity, including encryption algorithms and network security protocols. By balancing technical explanations with historical accounts and strategic implications, Code Breaking offers a comprehensive understanding of this critical field.

Frank O'Connor

Frank O'Connor was one of the twentieth century's greatest short story writers, and one of Ireland's greatest authors. Lilliput Press are now delighted to continue our publishing of O'Connor's writing by bringing his seminal work on the art of the short story back into print.   
The Lonely Voice is the definitive work of Irish non-fiction on the art of writing short fiction, and has long been held up as one of the greatest works in global literature on the short form. We are delighted to bring The Lonely Voice back into print with a brand new introduction by Kevin Barry, internationally recognised as one of Ireland's greatests short story writers, whose work - like O'Connor's before him - appears frequently in the New Yorker. Barry engages and parrys with O'Connor's writing, bringing about a meeting of great Irish short story writers from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and bringing this foundational piece of Irish writing to a new generation.   
The ideal companion to works such as George Saunders A Swim in a Pond in the Rain or John Yorke's Into the Woods: How Stories Work and Why we Tell Them.
