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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024608379120,"sku":"9780316352543","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316352543_p0.jpg?v=1763681115","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316352543","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
