Legacy.
520 ""Success in dealing with unknown ciphers is measured by
these four things in the order named: perseverance,
careful methods of analysis, intuition, luck." So begins
the first chapter of Colonel Parker Hitt's 1916 Manual for
the Solution of Military Ciphers, a foundational text in
the history of cryptology. An irrepressible innovator,
Hitt possessed those qualities in abundance. His manual,
cipher devices, and proactive mentorship of Army
cryptology during World War I laid the groundwork for the
modern American cryptologic system. Though he considered
himself an infantryman, Hitt is best known as the "father
of American military cryptology." In Parker Hitt: The
Father of American Military Cryptology, Betsy Rohaly Smoot
brings Hitt's legacy to life, chronicling his upbringing,
multiple careers, ingenious mind, and independent spirit.
In the 1910s, after a decade as an infantry officer, Hitt
set his sights on aviation. Instead, he was drawn to the
applied sciences, designing signal and machine-gun
equipment while applying math to combat problems. Atypical
for the time, Hitt championed women in the workplace.
During World War I he suggested the Army employ American
female telephone operators, while his wife, Genevieve
Young Hitt, became the first woman to break ciphers for
the United States government. His daughter, Mary Lue Hitt,
carried on the family legacy as a "code girl" during World
War II. Readers of Elizabeth Cobb's The Hello Girls, Liza
Mundy's Code Girls, and David Kahn's The Codebreakers will
find in Parker Hitt's story an insightful profile of an
American cryptologic hero and the early twentieth-century
military. Drawing from a never-before-seen cache of Hitt's
letters, photographs, and diaries, Smoot introduces
readers to Hitt's life on the front lines, in classrooms
and workshops, and at home"--|cProvided by publisher.
