This used book is in Good condition. This book is missing its dust jacket. After the U.S. entered World War II and American men went overseas to fight, ten thousand young women from across the country moved to Washington, DC, and learned the dangerous, high-stakes work of breaking enemy military codes. They were forbidden from telling anyone about their assignments-even their family and closest friends. Their secret work helped to shorten the war and save countless lives. In the process, many got their first taste of the big city, became lifelong friends, fell in and out of love amid the heartbreak of war, and changed the understanding of what women could do in the workforce. Their lives, and their nation, would never be the same. With illuminating firsthand accounts and photographs throughout, Liza Mundy relays a riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and science, bringing to light the astonishing scope of these women's previously unknown accomplishments.
