CODE GIRLS

In the summer of 2015 I was contacted by an author interested in the stories of the Sugar Camp WAVES–one of my favorite topics. Now their story as well as that of the WACS at Arlington Hall is available and wonderfully successful.

“Code Girls is an extraordinary book by an extraordinary author. Liza Mundy’s portraits of World War II codebreakers are so skillfully and vividly drawn that I felt as if I were right there with them—mastering ciphers, outwitting the Japanese army, sinking ships, breaking hearts, and even accidentally insulting Eleanor Roosevelt. I am an evangelist for this book: You must read it.”
author of The Good Girls Revolt – Lynn Povich

Stray Thoughts in the Information Age

…And a most important factor in that perspective is a realization that codebreaking and intelligence alone do not win wars. … You can have the best intelligence in the world, but if you don’t have a powerful army, it’s useless. That’s why it’s wrong to say that codebreaking won the war, or even that it decided the war. Physical an moral elements did that. . . Ultra itself became useful only when we had the power to exploit it.

David Kahn. “The Significance of Codebreaking and Intelligence in Allied Strategy and Tactics.” from remarks delivered 1976 before the Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association, originally printed in 1976, in reaction to Winterbotham’s revelations, in Cryptologia, Vol. 1.
