As World War II progressed, the U.S military desperately needed a communication code that couldn't be broken. The decision was made to use Navajo-an unwritten language that is unintelligible to anyone without extensive exposure and training.
That decision directly affects hundreds of young men, including Lee, who make the change from life on the Navajo reservation to being a key part of the United States' success in the war.
Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division signal officer, declared, "Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines never would have taken Iwo Jima."
Reviews-
"Warriors Code is a brief look at one of the more amazing circumstances of WWII. Peters does not sugar-coat the horrors of war. However, his book celebrates the sacrifices and triumphs of the Navajo code talkers and the reader gains a greater understanding of history. "
