My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! the untold story indeed
I was aware of most of this but failed to see how much of the successes in codebreaking were done by women but later they are dismissed and set aside again. Most of what I picked up on was the war in the Pacific. Guam has been my home for more than 30 years now, so that part really got my attention. I would venture to say that many people will never know unless they read this excellent book or others like it.

The award-winning New York Times bestseller about the American women who secretly served as codebreakers during World War II–a “prodigiously researched and engrossing” (New York Times) book that “shines a light on a hidden chapter of American history” (Denver Post).

Recruited by the U.S. Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during World War II. While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history; now, through dazzling research and interviews with surviving code girls, bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment.
