| Description of the recommended text | Navajo Weapon: The Navajo Code Talkers tells the oft-overlooked story of some of the greatest unsung American heroes in World War II: the titular Navajo Code Talkers. They worked with the U.S military during the war to create a code that was nearly impossible for the Japanese military to crack, using the Navajo language as its base. In this book, author Sally McClain explores the roles and importance of these code talkers and how their efforts were integral in the U.S winning the war. She doesn’t just focus on their war efforts, however, as she spends a good portion of the book exploring the war’s toll on these individuals and where they ended up after the war. |
