    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 ...

    Navaho Code Talker

    I you are a World War II buff and have heard a little bit about the role of the Code Talkers, this will be a captivating book for you because of it's first person detail. I passed it on to my Marine Corps League buddies.

    Great untold story.

    Very compelling story. My understanding of the Navaho was vastly improved. It is sad to realize the credit for their contribution could not be told due to the very nature of their work!

    Sad

    I was very disappointed in this book. My expectation was to learn specific times when the code talkers actually made a difference. I got disenchanted and only got through about half of the book.
