[FRIAM] The Strange Numbers That Birthed Modern Algebra

[Barry MacKichan]

This is not particularly surprising. The two were friends in Washington 
during World War II, both as British agents. See 
https://www.amazon.com/Irregulars-Roald-British-Wartime-Washington/dp/0743294580. 
It is a pretty good book as I recall.
