Code of Silence - How Australian Women Helped Win the War

Code of Silence - How Australian Women Helped Win the War tells the extraordinary, untold story of the young women recruited for signals intelligence during World War II. As the conflict escalated in the Asia-Pacific, these women, many still teenagers, became Australia's secret weapon, working in discreet locations to intercept enemy messages. Their covert work was instrumental in Allied victories at the pivotal battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. 

This book isn't just a thrilling war narrative, it's a vital coming-of-age story for the nation, introducing women whose service remained hidden for decades due to their oaths of secrecy. It's time these remarkable women, the daughters of the suffragette generation, are written back into the history books they so rightfully belong in.
