William Friedman is the father of modern cryptology and was the mastermind behind the breaking of PURPLE, the code system used by the Japanese diplomatic service prior to and during WWII.
For example, he invented the concept of the index of coincidence, a probability calculation that can be used to determine whether a given coded message is "monoalphabetic" or "polyalphabetic", the former being much simpler to crack than the latter but each having their own set of analytic tools.
Friedman's work on military ciphers, mainly textbooks for military codebreakers, are considered seminal works; some of them are available from Aegean Press here (scroll down a little).

In this case the output generated by the machines will have strings of 26 letters that are a simple substitution cipher, and by collecting enough cyphertext and applying a standard statistical method known as the kappa test[?], he showed that it was possible, although very difficult, to crack any such machine.
Friedman then used his understanding of the rotor machines to develop several of his own that were immune to his own attacks.
Friedman was convinced it was a mechanical system, and set about attacking it, spending several sleepless months studying the cyphertext trying to discover its patterns.

Milton Friedman, the most famous proponent of free-market economics in the 20th century, is himself a longtime student of luck.
Friedman also told me that it inspired his call for the provision of a decent minimum to the disadvantaged, ideally via private charity, but if government was to be involved, via cash grants that in the 1950s he dubbed a "negative income tax."
On this score, Friedman's acolytes on the Wall Street Journal editorial page, who have glibly dubbed low-income workers "lucky duckies" because they're too poor to owe income taxes, haven't imbibed the decency of their mentor.
