Based on first-person accounts as well as military records, this book tells the story of those members of the Navajo Nation who served a unique role in the United States military during the Second World War.
The Navajo Code Talkers saved potentially, thousands of lives with their unique talent and background, selflessly serving a nation which has not always served them well.
This book contains 8 autographs of Navajo Code Talkers. The six autographs on the title page are: Jack Jones, Alfred Newman, Alfred Peaches, Robert Walley, Albert Smith, and Bill Toledo., The seventh autograph beneath the introduction is that of Kee Etsicitty, and the eighth autograph on page 103 is also that of Private Etsicitty beneath his photo.
With these eight autographs, this book is a one-of-a-kind memory of a group of men who made a unique contribution toward ending the Second World War.
