World Event History and Culture Book Group

All are welcome to join this monthly discussion of books on current and historical world events and international culture.  This month’s book is: Code Girls:  The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II by Liza Mundy.  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.  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.  Bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment.
