Joining the ranks of Hidden Figures and In the Garden of Beasts, the incredible true story of the greatest codebreaking duo that ever lived, an American woman and her husband who invented the modern science of cryptology together and used it to confront the evils of their time, solving puzzles that unmasked Nazi spies and helped win World War II
In 1912, at the height of World War I, brilliant Shakespeare expert Elizebeth Smith went to work for an eccentric tycoon on his estate outside Chicago. The tycoon had close ties to the U.S. government, and he soon asked Elizebeth to apply her language skills to an exciting new venture: code-breaking. There she met the man who would become her husband, groundbreaking cryptologist William Friedman. Though she and Friedman are in many ways the “Adam and Eve” of the NSA, Elizebeth’s story, incredibly, has never been told.
In The Woman Who Smashed Codes, Jason Fagone chronicles the life of this extraordinary woman, who played an integral role in our nation’s history for forty years. After World War I, Smith used her talents to catch gangsters and smugglers during Prohibition, then accepted a covert mission to discover and expose Nazi spy rings that were spreading like wildfire across South America, advancing ever closer to the United States. As World War II raged, Elizebeth fought a highly classified battle of wits against Hitler’s Reich, cracking multiple versions of the Enigma machine used by German spies. Meanwhile, inside an Army vault in Washington, William worked furiously to break Purple, the Japanese version of Enigma—and eventually succeeded, at a terrible cost to his personal life.
Fagone unveils America’s code-breaking history through the prism of Smith’s life, bringing into focus the unforgettable events and colorful personalities that would help shape modern intelligence. Blending the lively pace and compelling detail that are the hallmarks of Erik Larson’s bestsellers with the atmosphere and intensity of The Imitation Game, The Woman Who Smashed Codes is page-turning popular history at its finest.

The above sinopsis is a load of lies the first world war was 1914 - 1918 so 1912 could NOT have been in the middle of the first world war. German spys did NOT use the enigma machine of which there were only 2 types 3 rotor and 4 rotor machines which were used ONLY by the military as they were too bulky, heavy, and valuable to dole out to spies and be captured.

Weak, BLoudon. A thinly veiled attack on the book because of some personal thing you don’t like.
(I’m gonna guess women, u fag..)
There was so much build up & aftermath to ww1, you can safely bracket 1900 - 1920 as “ww1 era” (at the very least, this is acceptable in the world of espionage which was happening long before and after).
And the casual sentence saying “German spies” is also acceptable. We all know what the author means by this, even if who ever was cranking out the initial message was a German soldier instead of a spy (it was still spies who collected the info which in one way or another, was passed by enigma)… ¬¬
The fact you’re trying to use these pedantic arguments is showing you up as petty & wilfully ignorant.

Read it and see. That is my plan for action. Thanks for the book.

Based on wikipedia, I think it’s supposed to say 1916 instead of 1912. That’s when Elizebeth Smith went to work for George Fabyan. Very sloppy of the publisher to allow such a mistake into the blurb, but hopefully the book itself doesn’t have other such errors.
