I really don't know of anything comprehensive. Cypherpunks was actually a mailing list, and I believe you can download full archives of it. One of the big part's he's referring to is Phil Zimmerman creating PGP, and I'd bet you can find some history about its legal troubles. Stories about RSA code on a t-shirt to protest the export bans would be another notable cypherpunk moment that got press. The EFF breaking DES with deepcrack in the 90's was also a cypherpunk project.

There may well be a comprehensive history of the movement out there, but I haven't heard of one. He might know of a good one, he's @moxie
