Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II
by Liza Mundy
Surprising event uncovered! (10/24/2021)
This was so compelling and astounding when I realized that these women had broken the code as to where the attack in the Pacific would occur! Midway and NOT the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska! My dad was a radio man in the US Navy protecting that region during WW11! He apparently also sent coded messages while flying and tapped the messages out in Morse Code! BUT if the attack was where he was stationed I might never have been here! While sifting through the last items of my parents belongings I found his code book which in turn lead me to this book! Thanks for such impressive stories of that time and place!
