The Quest for Cryptologic Centralization and the Establishment of NSA:1940 - 1952 is the story of why the US National Security Agency was formed.

It recounts a number of the shortcomings of how communications intelligence was gathered and handled by the US military, CIA and Department of State.

This is part of a series published by the NSA on intelligence gathering during World War II and after.
