Overview

Navajo Code Talkers tells the story of this special group who proved themselves to be among the bravest, most valuable, and most loyal of American soldiers during World War II.

On the Pacific front during World War II, strange messages were picked up by American and Japanese forces on land and at sea. The messages were totally unintelligible to everyone except a small select group within the Marine Corps: the Navajo code talkers-a group of Navajo recruits communicating in a code based on the Navajo language. This code, the first unbreakable one in U.S. history, was a key reason that the Allies were able to win in the Pacific. Featuring an introduction by real Navajo Code Talker Roy O. Hawthorne, Navajo Code Talkers offers kids an accessible and authoritative account of how Navajo soldiers changed the tide of WWII.
