Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During the Second World War, thousands of young women stepped into a hidden battle that few knew existed-armed not with weapons, but with sharp minds, relentless focus, and a quiet determination to change the course of history. They worked behind locked doors in secretive huts and sprawling offices, untangling the enemy's most unbreakable codes while the world outside assumed they were just secretaries.
