The Navajo Code Talkers by Doris Atkinson PaulMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.0/5.0 - Written from primary sources, this book documents the essential services by members of the Navajo tribe during World War II, when they served as Marines and transmitted important messages in a code derived from the Navajo language. They were especially critical in the battle for Iwo Jima. Their service was not limited to code, though, and they developed a reputation for being some of the toughest men to serve in the Marines. Besides the normal dangers of battle, they also faced the additional threat of being mistaken for a Japanese soldier, and there were more than a few close calls.
