History of the NSA

The National Security Agency recently declassified a history of itself written a few years ago as part of the 50th anniversary series of the Cryptologic Almanac. Ever wondered where the super-secret NSA came from? Wonder no more.

Thanks for sharing -- this is interesting. But realistically, what new information is there?

Realistically? Not much, but I found it interesting, too. Given its short length, it's good reading for people who like to debate the NSA's role today. I had no commentary goals posting this, just sharing something I came across that I though others might like.
