In looking through my library, I came across two references (I would
not say 'must read' though).
"Code Breakers" (David Kahn) has several short real world examples. It
is not a treatise per-se, but is interesting.
"The Hut Six Story, Breaking the Enigma Codes" (Gordon Welchman)
describes many of the aspects of traffic analysis as a precursor to an
actual cryptanalysis attack.
I don't know any study texts on this subject.
Thanks
