The article presents information on the book "Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency," by James Bamford. Armed police patrol the boundaries of Crypto City, as this restricted area near the sleepy hamlet of Annapolis Junction, Maryland, is called. Beyond lies a forbidden city unlike any other on earth. The main business of the U.S. National Security Agency is global eavesdropping, its mission is to obtain secrets about foreign enemies and friends alike, and to identify terrorist threats, drug trades, illegal arms sales and so on, all by intercepting voice, phone and radio communications.
