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 of what others in the Indian community could have used as a role model of how to succeed.
My father - who was also in the Pacific always said that joining the Army was the best thing that ever happened to him in terms of GI Bill schooling, a civilian gov't career with the Air Force, exposure to and better understanding of world events, etc., was the best thing that ever happened to him.
