Code Girls / Liza Mundy / 416 pages

Code Girls is the story of how over 10,000 American women were recruited by the U. S. Army and Navy as code breakers during World War II.  This part of our fight in World War II has not been written about in great detail, but this author does a good job telling the story in detail with her extensive research.  The women were housed and worked in facilities in Washington, D. C. and Dayton, Ohio.  The women were ordered to never reveal the details of their wartime work, an oath they followed for the rest of their lives.  This book shows us how much these women contributed to helping our country fight the war.  Sometimes there is a lot of detail about codes, however the book was fascinating if you enjoy learning about our history.
