The Woman Who Smashed Codes

A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine Who Outwitted America's Enemies

Jason Fagone

"The Woman Who Smashed Codes" is an incredible true story of the groundbreaking American woman who invented cryptology with her husband during World War II, solving puzzles that unmasked Nazi spies and helped win the war. This book delves into the life of Elizebeth Smith and her integral role in shaping modern intelligence, as well as her covert missions to catch gangsters, smugglers, and Nazi spy rings. This page-turning popular history blends the compelling detail of Erik Larson's bestsellers with the intensity of "The Imitation Game".

I am so excited about this @jfagone! Cannot wait to watch. Also, people: if you haven't read Jason's book about Elizebeth Friedman, we can't be friends      source
