matsui's crypto '94 paper is pretty straightforward
for linear cryptanalysis, as is the biham/shamir book
on differential cryptanalysis (springer). there are
earlier papers for both, i think, but these presentations
give good summaries of the ways the attacks work. the
biham book, of course, continues into a lot of detail,
but being < 1 cm thick, it's still tractable.
