I heard about Code Girls several months before publication, and was determined to read it as soon as possible. My mother was one of the code breakers at Arlington Hall, a largely civilian group of women who worked under the auspices of the US Army. She fit the typical profile of Arlington Hall recruits: a teacher who left her job at a girls’ boarding school in Virginia to not only serve her country, but do more exciting and challenging work than was available to most women in peacetime. (The military recruited heavily for women with four-year degrees, which were rare at the time but required for teachers.) Arlington Hall was a place where a woman could fulfill her intellectual potential, where she was encouraged to learn and do as much as possible, as fast as possible, and work as hard as possible. The code breakers’ work was crucial to winning the war.According to this book, the women worked for seven days straight, with their eighth “off” day spent on shopping, errands, and probably housework as well. However, my mother did not mind the long hours. On her commute from Washington, she even ran into Eleanor Roosevelt one morning around 6; Roosevelt said she took early walks to evade the Secret Service. Like other women in this book, my mother roomed with another woman who was also a code breaker and who became a close friend, and she enjoyed the camaraderie of her whole code-breaking group.Author Liza Mundy weaves a number of narrative strands. She discusses the work done at not only Arlington Hall, but at the separate Navy code-breaking facility (where most code breakers were WAVES) and at Sugar Camp. Sugar Camp was an NCR rustic retreat outside Dayton, Ohio used in peacetime to train salesmen; during the war it housed WAVES who wired the bombes that NCR manufactured to break the German Enigma codes. Mundy gives as much technical detail on code breaking as the average, nonspecialist reader can probably handle. This includes work done during World War 1 and between the wars. Some World War 1 code breakers carried right on into World War 2.I was disappointed that almost all the World War 2 information focuses on the Japanese codes. It’s true that the Japanese codes were extremely challenging. They were complex, the Japanese used several different codes, and the codes were changed constantly. It was hard to find Americans who knew Japanese. The code breakers were given some basic relevant vocabulary. Then--Mundy mentions only in passing, late in the book--the decoded messages were passed to translators, many of them missionaries or children of missionaries who had lived in Japan. Mundy also mentions somewhere that the messages of many other countries were decoded at Arlington Hall. (I’d assume this was also true of the Navy facility.) But that’s all she says. The organization of the code-breaking facilities seems to have been complex, with people working in many different groups for both efficiency and secrecy. I gained little sense of the overall organization or what the groups were. I have no idea what my mother worked on, but my guess is messages in French. She had a BA in French, she was fluent in French, and I’d assume Vichy France was pumping out messages at the same phenomenal rate as other countries.Mundy may have focused primarily on the Japanese code-breaking group due to her choice to tell the personal stories of a number of code breakers, especially Dorothy (Dot) Braden, now Dorothy Braden Bruce. Dot worked in a Japanese group and Mundy interviewed her extensively for this book. Dot’s personal life included her close friendship with her roommate, code breaker Ruth Weston; Dot’s on-off engagement to a soldier named George Rush; and Dot’s postwar marriage to another soldier named Jim Bruce. Dot also had brothers in the war. In between handling all that coded text, Dot and other code breakers wrote huge numbers of letters, to husbands, fiancés, brothers, even soldiers they’d never met who wanted pen pals. The workforce was mostly female—my mother said there was only one man in her group, an elderly Egyptologist who had worked on cracking hieroglyphics. But the code breakers’ lives were full of men, to the extent that (Mundy relates) pregnancies were not uncommon among unmarried women at Arlington Hall. (The Navy was much tighter and required even married pregnant women to quit work.) I can’t help wondering whether my 30-ish mother was also feverishly writing to soldiers and dating numerous men when they were on leave. Certainly not my father—they did not meet till after the war and in any case, he was rejected by the draft due to a medical condition.Although Mundy goes back and forth between code-breaking organizations and various personal stories, she manages to move through the war narrative more or less chronologically. Her descriptions of military and naval action are mostly focused on the end of the war, especially the excitements of D-Day and the Japanese surrender. My mother said that two of her coworkers always joked that “by the end of the war they’d be cutting out paper dolls.” When my mother and others came in after their day off, they discovered those two coworkers had spent that day making paper dolls, using every scrap of paper they’d saved up, and had hung the dolls all over the office. Mundy mentions that people danced in the streets of Washington.However relieved the women code breakers were, their immediate experiences were not altogether joyous. The Arlington Hall workers were given a speech encouraging them all to quit work as soon as possible. Most did, at least after they married or had a child. (A few did stay into the Cold War and beyond.) The US mounted a reverse recruitment campaign, telling all women it was their patriotic duty to turn over their jobs to returning men. Women married the fiancés they’d been corresponding with and proceeded to have babies. Some were happy housewives; some were not. Many, including my mother, missed the sense of challenge and purpose they’d had as code breakers, and went back to work. After the war my mother got a graduate degree in mathematics, which my father (a physicist) never understood. Her verbal skills were so much stronger, he said; why was she determined to study mathematics? But mathematics was needed and valued at Arlington Hall, and many women did not discover their aptitude for it until they worked there. My mother waited till her children were old enough, then spent the rest of her career as a college math professor. Most of the code breakers still alive are now in assisted living facilities. It’s good that Mundy interviewed some, because they were told their work was top secret and should never, ever be revealed. Many revealed nothing substantive while they were alive, including my mother, though it was clearly one of the happiest times of her life.When I was 12 or 13, my mother sat me down and taught me the rudiments of code breaking. This was just the beginning, she said; the work at Arlington Hall was much harder. What she was teaching me was not classified. But I should learn something about breaking codes, because I’d never know when I might need to.

In the same vein as "Hidden Figures", this history of the female codebreakers that contributed significantly to the progress of WWII is long overdue. The author interviewed a number of the codebreakers and their families and researched the topic extensively when the previously classified information was finally declassified. The codebreakers were sworn to silence while employed and for many years afterwards; in most cases their husbands and families had no idea of the importance and complexity of the job the young women were doing during the war. It was generally believed that they had fulfilled some menial clerical function.The author incorporates personal information from a number of the "code girls" and factual information on many others. Women were responsible for many of the most important code breaking accomplishments during the war, and their efforts definitely helped the U.S. to win the war on both fronts. They actually learned of the Japanese surrender before many in the government and military did!Women were recruited from colleges and universities, and many had been trained as teachers, one of the few occupations available to educated women at the time. They underwent extensive screening and training to ensure that they were fit for the work. They arrived in Washington, D.C. in droves and were housed in hastily constructed rather Spartan accommodations. The work was scheduled 24 hours a day, and housing was so limited that it wasn't uncommon for multiple girls to use the same bed. They were housed and fed, and provided with a wage that was more than any of them could ever had made as teachers; nevertheless their pay rate was still 25-30% less than men doing the same work. It was an exciting time to be in the Capitol, and the women also had lively social lives, some of them being courted by multiple men in uniform and all of them maintaining a steady correspondence with one or more men who were serving the country.The technical information relating to the strategy and tactics of code breaking was quite detailed, but somewhat inscrutable to me so I skimmed quickly some of those sections; suffice it to say that it required an extreme amount of organization, attention to detail, a mathematical orientation, razor sharp memories and ability to see patterns, both small and large.I found the book quite riveting, with enough personal detail to enliven the story, and enough technical detail to establish just how serious and demanding their work was. I can definitely imagine that a movie will be made of this exciting and interesting chapter in our nation's history.

I've a library of 100s of WWII books, this one rates near the top. Oddly, it tells a broad brush of WWII that is highly accurate, carries all the major details, and flows naturally as part of the back story. This author earns her pay even just on research, yet it's also very well written and even a page turner. It also has something very valuable to me as a man, it gives me a perspective into what happens for females when provided the same opportunities I was provided as a man. That brings me to pause, because I took for granted my privilege as a white male throughout my career. I somehow learned the same lesson that this book teaches because throughout my now past career in logic and programming, when in a position to hire, I more often found females were those who did more to further technical teams and projects. I started to read this because of my insatiable quest for WWII information, but it ended up reframing my perspective on my career and accomplishments due to the contributions of women. It shouldn't be, but that is a humbling realization because it forces respect to come to the surface in a way I missed when it was happening. It's a sad thing to ponder now in light of our society devolving away from these lessons learned, but perhaps that just makes the book more timely.

I was lucky enough to meet a code breaker in a German class. She was my mother’s age, but we still became great friends. I admired her for her fluent German and her quick mind. I was honored to attend her funeral when she passed away at 93. She was buried with full military honors in Arlington Cemetery. That is why it is so great to read about what she did.

Seaforth has been on a roll the last few years, pumping out one high-quality naval reference book after another, each one packed with rare insights and excellent photography. This one was originally scheduled for a mid-2016 release but kept on getting pushed back until now. While it definitely has some high points, it's a rare disappointment from the publisher, and I'm left wondering exactly why it was delayed so long.First, the good stuff. It has a tremendous amount of depth and scope, going all the way back to the earliest steam gunboats to modern day riverine craft. It's very much a naval reference in the style of the Conway/NIP books of the late 70s and 80s. Very lean, efficient, no BS. With some polishing, this would have made an excellent companion to Conway's "All the World's Fighting Ships" quartet. Flipping through it quickly, I've come across entries on the Finnish Lake Ladoga gunboat 'Aallokas,' the German "Siebelfahres," the converted Paraguayan yacht 'Adolfo Riquelma,' and the Soviet armored river gunboats that fought at Stalingrad. Most of the craft receive a specifications table, a brief history, and one or two photographs or diagrams. Many of the most famous riverine battles and campaigns are described in detail, as are the careers of the more famous gunboats.Although I can see this book being an excellent jumping off point for further research, it's too flawed to be a truly classic reference. While the historical elements are excellent, there's almost nothing on the design, development, machinery, or weapons of any of the craft depicted. Some boats are so sketchily detailed I'm not sure why they were even included. Considering Seaforth's usually high standards, the visual presentation is a mend. The photographs tend to be extremely small and of poor quality with blown-out contrast and compression artifacts, and the diagrams are frequently tiny and useful only for getting a basic idea of a boat's general arrangement. Although I'm not the type who demands pretty color images of gray and white boats, the lack of color photographs outside the two appendixes is a disappointment. Quite a few of the photos and diagrams are credited to internet forums or have links to Pinterest pins that probably won't exist in two or three years from now. What good will they do a researcher in 20 years?As much as I'd love to give this a higher rating, it's too sloppy to truly recommend. Although it presents a truly fascinating collection of obscure craft, the lack of care in presentation and the lack of technical details make this one for hardcore gunboat fans only. How ironic that a book on river gunboats would be a mile wide, but only an inch deep!

This book covers all of the various gunboats in all the navies. It is an excellent reference work and one that I will refer to many times in the future when I am looking for information. I highly recommend this book.

Beautifully illustrated, a thorough, detailed, comprehensive history of river gunboats. A must for naval history libraries. An excellent addition to any collection of Jane's, Conway's, and Combat Fleets.

This book costs a bit and takes up a lot of space, and you probably already have some book on gunboats. You certainly have access to wikipedia, so before we plunk down our money it seems worthwhile to ask a few questions:Is the definition of gunboats broad enough to include all the riverine combatants in the American Civil War? Modern river gunboats? Does it have an index? A filmography? Are the pictures of camouflage schemes in Appendix 2 in color? Does it have a section on postage stamps from around the world that feature gunboats? Is this book an unwieldy size? Will this book lie flat while I study it? Are there pictures on every page?The answers are yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and almost every page.But it’s not all “yeses”. There are some “noes”, too.Are there any maps? Are all the pictures in color? Are there lots of descriptions of combat?Maybe it would be more helpful to just describe it.This is a 11” wide, 12” tall book of 336 pages. It’s organized by nation, from the tiny and ephemeral Acre to Russia and the CSA. There’s an introduction for each nation, since each country’s operation of gunboats is different and requires different organization, then all the gunboats are described, organized by region of operation (when necessary) and chronology. There are pictures or plans for most vessels, along with the data block with the vital statistics. Some combat descriptions are interspersed, but they are far from comprehensive. Similarly, specifics on the design and power train are frequently but not always present.There are a lot of pictures, more pictures than I would have guessed you could find. Definitely some I feel I should have seen but definitely have not. There are photos, original plans, period drawings and other art, and modern drawings. There are not only images of the vessels, but of the equipment and weapons. Many of the photos have interesting things in the background, too. There are also some photos of sunk, abandoned, and wrecked boats, kinda neat.The bibliography is extensive, but not annotated. It includes a bunch of websites. The index seems complete, including not just vessel names and individual people but also topics that are addressed in the various entries such as technologies, battles, and manufacturers.Do you need this book? You can get plenty of info from wikipedia for the important vessels, and if you’re interested in gunboats you probably have a few books, so what are the selling points here? Comprehensiveness is one, everything is here, even if only lightly touched on. Second, it is a beautiful book; if gunboats are in your wheelhouse you will be pleased to own this book. Thirdly, there are plenty of books about gunboats in Africa and China, but there has been a lot of shooting on the river systems of South America, Eastern Europe, and Russia. I haven’t seen many books on these, but they are covered here in full. The Russia section is early 10% of the book. Finally, this book includes everything there is to know about the Swiss navy. Seriously. Two pages, the same as Serbia or Burma/Myanmar.The one glaring fault, from the war gamer’s point of view at least, there is very little info on armor. Almost none. There is a “Guns/Armor” section in every data block, but while the guns are always described armor is rarely mentioned. Occasionally you see “armored bridge” or “bullet proof plating”, and you could infer from the description how the ship was constructed, but none of us are going to be satisfied with the armor info.Another, smalerl disappointment is the modeling section. That’s not necessarily expected, but in the introduction the author says he was “obliged to delete” an appendix on researching and building model gunboats. Not to worry, that info will be on his website. Except that it’s not. In fact, as of November 2018 this book is mentioned on his website only as a work in progress. But it just came out, I trust that in time the work he did on modeling will be available to us, and I look forward to it!Beyond all this the book has been prepared carefully. The “Notes on Plans and Specifications” section, explaining in the Introduction how the author handled certain problems with the sources, and other clues tell me that the author was careful, and took the time where it was worthwhile to tell us how he was careful.I am happy to have this and expect it to be enjoyable, useful, and inspires some modeling and gaming.

Think “Conway’s” but for River Gunboats. Only scanned a few entries so far, but looks excellent.

Chuck Swindoll did a great job of dissecting the Book of Job. I love this book because it helps us understand that no matter what your trials are you must know that God is still on the Throne. Job never disrespected the Sovereignty of God but was allowed to question why especially since he knew that his life represented God. This is a great book to read to enhance growth and maturity in ones walk with the Lord. The evil one came for Job on every side but Job did not give in. No matter what his circumstances was, he never denied the Greatness of God something the whole world need to understand so that life can be lived to the fullest in Christ Jesus!

It's been a little while since I read this book till now, when I'm writing the review. But, this is one of my very favorite of Swindoll's books. It really shows how God is in control of our lives in ways we don't fully appreciate. The book makes a contentious postulation that God was directly responsible for causing Job's ailments and calamities. The argument is well formed...even if many people don't go along with it.There's no fluff or platitudes in Swindoll's writing. And his love of Christ always shines through in his books.

Any Biblical based biographies by Charles Swindoll are incredible. I have read several and can hardy put them down. I wanted to read Job as I read through the Bible every year and as mant times as I have done it, I always want to know more about what the "friends" are talking about. It is an awesome read and I highly recommend it as well as the ones about Paul, Joseph etc.

I've been trying to learn more about the characters of the old testament and I love the Charles presents it. It discusses the book of Job and all the circumstances in his life, but then he does a cool thing - he applies it modern time and YOUR life. I love that. I have become a big fan of Charles and bought many of his books this year. This book of Job was my 2nd of his I read - I read Elijah first which was awesome too. I'm on Ester right now and love that book too.

Analysis shallow and repetitive. If you want to hear in endless detail how insensitive Job's counselors were, this is the book for you. From this you would think the main purpose of the Holy Spirit in inspiring this book was to teach how not to do grief counseling. Anecdotes innocuous to offensive. Chuck is a much better preacher than a writer, and this book looks like a slapdash job put together from sermon notes. Not my cup of tea.

This is thick book. Chuck Swindoll does his best to keep interesting. A lot of scripture to cover. Never knew that from chapter 3 up to part of last chapter was written as poetry. This explains so much. His commentary adds so much to his great lives series. The whole series is just absolutely great!

Some interesting thoughts. If you are just looking or something to read that touches on the Book of Job this is ok. If you are looking for something even somewhat scholarly this is not it.

The author takes on a difficult study and, not only handles it well, he makes it easy and exciting to read. This whole series will definitely draw you closer to God.
