Publisher's Summary
In the South Pacific in 1944 and 1945, military battles raged between the United States and Japan. Surrounded by rattling bullets and exploding bombs, a group of Navajo Marines sent secret messages back and forth. They used a code they had created from the Navajo language, a code the enemy was never able to crack. These young men had been recruited from their homes in the American Southwest. They brought with them incredible physical stamina and a language that had never been written down. Learn more about the Navajo code talkers - brave, creative heroes -who used their unbreakable code to help the Allies win the war.
What the critics say
"A perennial favorite time period among students receives a fresh treatment. Each volume provides facts about the events, along with the personal recollections of a number of people involved. For instance, an opening publisher's note in Navajo Code Talkers explains that when historical and personal accounts don't align, the author has chosen to 'use the facts as explained by the code talkers themselves, considering their words to be primary sources' - a smart decision.... VERDICT An above average series for report needs." (School Library Journal, Series Made Simple)
