Maybe I misunderstand something, but the article text says:
> in 1992, the US Justice Department claimed releasing the third book could harm national security by revealing the NSA's "code-breaking prowess". It was finally released in December last year.
When we move to the first page of the linked book it says:
> This text constitutes the third in the series of six basic texts on the science of cryptanalytics.
So there is still book 4, 5 an 6?
(im probably on some list just for asking)

- TedDoesntTalk 5y ago> So there is still book 4, 5 an 6? Yes, and they are still classified (for now). Part III has been long sought after. Glad to see it’s out there (and that it’s release doesn’t jeopardize anything)

- elahieh 5y agoAuthor here - actually LDC died in October 1977, the same month this book came out. So there were more texts planned in the "Military Cryptanalytics" series, but they were never published.
