I strongly recommend this book. Also recommended but much more elementary
is Abraham Sinkov's book on Cryptanalysis and the Military Cryptanalysis set
by Friedman. The Military  Cryptanalysis has apparently just come into the
open literature. There are many other books, but not devoted to modern
cryptanalytic techniques. One of the best is a Dover reprint by Helen Fouche
Gaines.

(I'll bet that the folks at the NSA do pay attention to this newsgroup :-)
