This was an excellent introduction to this topic:

But I am not sure if the book covers the mistake and later correction. It has been more than a decade since I read the book (and became a fan of the author).

The BBC did an episode of Horizon on it.

It's the same show, Nova just rebranded it in the US. BTW, here's a full video of the BBC version but available everywhere. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x223gx8

I'll check that out - I loved his "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography". Excellent introduction to cryptography.

It does. That’s all part of the drama.

One of the best books I’ve ever read.

[placebo]

Agreed. I bought it at the airport for a transatlantic flight the year it came out and started reading before lift off. Completed it before landing. Best flight ever.

Would it be good on audio?

[WD-42]

Maybe. Most of it is just good storytelling. There are some light equations and graphs occasionally.

It does! Very dramatic part of the book.
