Sharing The Burden: Women In Cryptology During World War Ii
The cryptanalysts working for the Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) of the U.S. Army knew how crucial it was to decipher and read Japanese secret messages. But this new code, “Purple,” wasn’t breaking. For eighteen months the team struggled with this difficult Japanese diplomatic code.
