Synopsis
This first of its kind memoir offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Navajo code talkers., The Navajo code is the only unbroken code in modern warfare. It ensured the end of WWII by assuring the US victory in Japan. Only one original Navajo code talker still survives; Code Talker is his story. The Japanese had managed to crack every code the United States used. US military intelligence turned to the Navajo recruits and their native language to create a secret military code that the Japanese were unable to break and allowed embattled regiments of Marines to communicate quickly, concisely and above all, securely., The first and only memoir by one of the original Navajo code talkers of WWII. His name wasn't Chester Nez. That was the English name he was assigned in kindergarten. And in boarding school at Fort Defiance, he was punished for speaking his native language, as the teachers sought to rid him of his culture and traditions. But discrimination didn't stop Chester from answering the call to defend his country after Pearl Harbor, for the Navajo have always been warriors, and his upbringing on a New Mexico reservation gave him the strength--both physical and mental--to excel as a marine. During World War II, the Japanese had managed to crack every code the United States used. But when the Marines turned to its Navajo recruits to develop and implement a secret military language, they created the only unbroken code in modern warfare--and helped assure victory for the United States over Japan in the South Pacific. INCLUDES THE ACTUAL NAVAJO CODE AND RARE PICTURES

    I received a different version of the item that was advertised - but am extremely happy to report that Clarissa responded quickly and, once it was confirmed, issued a refund without delay. I've ordered from this vendor in the past: wonderful high quality books, & have always enjoyed quick replies with helpful information, great prices and fast shipping. Mistakes happen. Rock solid customer service is RARE. Thank you, Clarissa for handling the discrepancy so well. I'll def buy from you again!

    🎈🎈🧨🧨🎈🎈 This seller is all about service and customer satisfaction!! I ordered a book, received a book (very fast shipping), but it was not the title I ordered (same subject matter). I sent a message explaining what happened, received very quick response that was apologetic and requesting some additional info about the book I received. Sent that info and again very quick response. The book I wanted was not in stock, a full refund was issued, and I was allowed to keep the book I received!!😀

    Unfortunately I never received books, but it wasn’t seller’s fault. Tracking info proved items were honestly mailed out on time, so either postal service lost/mis-delivered package or it was stolen from my building mailroom. Whatever the case, seller gave me a full refund. I really appreciate them making it right & although I bought the books I wanted elsewhere, this seller is aboveboard & can be trusted & I’d buy from them again.

    Code Talker Unexpected Success Story.

    Initially this seemed very slow, however the more we (our book club) got into the book the more we all saw in what it taught us about the war in the Pacific. Most of us were unaware of Japan's motives - esp since they had been an ally in WWI. Understanding that these 29 men were as important as they were was somewhat at contrast with how they were treated (no R&R, no time off, etc) and no ability to tell anyone what they did, even after returning state-side, was very disheartening. What was redeeming was Chester's drive to continue with his schooling and get past his family's problems (children's deaths, divorce, etc) and become the accomplished man he was. It was sad that by not being able to talk about what he did limited the ability of the gov't and him, to become a better example ...

    Good book, poor packaging.

    The book was as expected, however, it was sent is a paper style large envelope so when it was recorded the envelope was soaked and the book was wet as well. The small waxy lining was not enough to protect it from the weather. I was able to dry out the book without too much damage but it was frustrating.

    Navaho Code Talker

    I you are a World War II buff and have heard a little bit about the role of the Code Talkers, this will be a captivating book for you because of it's first person detail. I passed it on to my Marine Corps League buddies.

    Great untold story.

    Very compelling story. My understanding of the Navaho was vastly improved. It is sad to realize the credit for their contribution could not be told due to the very nature of their work!
