The award-winning national 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.

二刷。写法很负责的一本非虚构，不仅叙写了二战时女性密码破译者们的种种经历，还囊括了对密码学的基本知识和当时社会背景的交代。 战时挥洒青春热血，战后一切归于平淡，甚至窘迫，殊不知社会分配价值也得论资排辈。好在人人心里自有一把秤，给得起自己交代，经得住历史评判。

密码破译的进程，战争前线和后方的生活，还有一个个女性的命运如何被时代的波澜改变，都很有意思。和平真的很可贵，能让女性充分自我实现的社会也真的很可贵，两者都来之不易，也比想象中脆弱

由于作者没有按时间顺序写作，这是一本读起来很头疼的历史书，但值得付出努力读下来。在二战和战后为美国情报界做出卓越贡献却被遗忘的女性们，终于有人讲出了她们的故事。
