That is indeed a good introduction to the field, but it won't make one
a cryptanalyst.  Be sure to get the original, UNABRIDGED hardcover
edition instead of the abridged paperback.  You can probably find this
in your public library, since it was a best-seller when it came out
(was that in 1967? -- something like that).
