Breaking the Code: A Daughter's Journey into Her Father's Secret War

About the book: 

This is a memoir of a daughter who, through old WWII letters and returning memories of her father, slowly discovers the important role he played during the war. While transcribing the letters her father gave to her on his 81st birthday, Karen begins to research the time period. Father and daughter also start meeting weekly for breakfast. Slowly, over the next few years, information about his life during the war is revealed and the quest for peace begins. 

What I liked: 

The details and descriptions of the process in discovering who her father was during time of war made it easy for me to picture events as I was reading. The letters written my her father also painted a clear picture in my mind about what he was seeing and doing. The story in its self was very moving, as was the experiences of the veteran after the war and his quest for peace. I also loved the pictures, letters, and documents shown in each chapter. 

What I didn't like: 

The pictures were hard to see on my Kindle. Had to look at them on my computer to see them clearly. Of course this is no reflection on the book itself.
