This book was on my reading list for 2 years, and I finally got to it and I am so glad I did. Codebreaking in WWII wasn't just the Brits solving the Nazi Enigma code. Our Army and Navy each recruited thousands of women from the 7 sister colleges, those teaching languages and mathematics, and bright women in general. This freed up boys to fight the wars against the Axis in the Atlantic and Europe and the Japanese in the Pacific and the many islands lying there while codebreakers figured out where the next battle was going tobe. They made a great contribution and their success and personal stories are wonderful to read.
