  Herbert Osborne Yardley
Herbert Yardley (died 1958) was an American cryptologist, most known for his book "The American Black Chamber".
Out of work, Yardley caused a sensation in 1931 with the publication of his memoirs of MI-8, "The American Black Chamber." In this book, Yardley revealed the extent of U.S. cryptanalytic work in the 1920s.
Yardley did some cryptologic work for Canada (although pressure from the US on the Candian government meant this was limited) and China during World War II, but he was never again given a position of trust in the U.S. government.

In 1912, Herbert Yardley was working at a low level in the State Department but in 1917 when America entered World War I Yardley persuaded the powers that be to let him establish a code breaking section.
Herbert Yardley managed to get the unit extended into the post-war world, and Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes used the information provided by Yardley to extract from the Japanese a favourable ratio of naval capital ships at the Limitation of Armaments Conference of 1921-22.

The head of this section was a young Lieutenant, Herbert Osborne Yardley whose organization had broken nearly all of the German diplomatic and Abwehr codes during the war.
When the war ended, Yardley was told that his services were no longer needed, but he convinced the Army otherwise stating that code breaking was even more important in maintaining the peace.

Herbert Osborne Yardley was an American Army Cryptologist in World War I. Although he originally had wanted to become a lawyer, Yardley ended up with a job in the State Department where he decoded messages sent to President Wilson.
Yardley decoded the messages to prove that the American codes were terribly outdated, and his talent would eventually ruffle a few high-level feathers.
In 1999, Yardley was posthumously inducted into the NSA Hall of Honor (http://www.nsa.gov/honor/honor00006.cfm), and if your personal library would benefit from a first edition of "The American Black Chamber," it can be purchased on the Internet for $100 to $300.

I found a copy of Yardley's poker classic at a used bookstore, and decided it wouldn't hurt to have a copy on my shelf.
The lecturer, Monty, seems unusually contemptuous of poor poker players, referring to them most often as "simpletons." I may be unusually sensitive about this, but I really have a strong negative reaction to the suggestion that anyone who doesn't play poker well is an inferior human being.
Yardley, however, seems to sympathize with this view, demonstrating more contempt than I think is appropriate.

 RCSigs.ca - RC Sigs Militaria Site Cracking the Code: Canadian Army SIGINT in the Second World War
The Canadian Examination Unit, under the leadership of noted American cryptanalyst Herbert Osborne Yardley of The American Black Chamber infamy, commenced operations in June 1941 with a very small inter-departmental staff of nine (on loan to the unit were personnel from the N.R.C., the Army, Cable Censorship, the Post Office Department, and the RCMP).
Interestingly, in order not to raise the ire of U.S. or British SIGINT organizations of the day, Yardley worked in Canada under the name Herbert Osborne (he was reviled and still much maligned by the U.S. and Britain for disclosing SIGINT secrets in his 1931 book).
Yardley's employment was ultimately terminated after six months, once both countries found out that he was working for the Canadian cryptanalytic cause and pressured Canada - on the overt threat of breaking rapidly expanding SIGINT relationships - for his removal.
