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
