Between Silk and Cyanide
by Leo Marks
Between Silk and Cyanide is a book by former SOE cryptographer Leo Marks, describing his work during the Second World War. The title is derived from an incident related in the book, when he is asked why spies in occupied Europe should have their cryptographic material written on silk (which was in very short supply). Marks said that he replied that it was "between silk and cyanide," meaning that it was a choice between a spy surviving, and having to take a suicide pill.
