Suddenly the language he had been told to forget was needed to fight a war. This powerful picture book biography contains backmatter including a timeline and a portion of the Navajo code, and also depicts the life of an original Navajo code talker while capturing the importance of heritage.

This book was choice of our Book Club (12 members). We met last week to discuss it and unanimously agreed we liked it. Such agreement is rare with us. The story is. of course, true. It is well told, gripping and inspiring. If it were fiction you could conclude it is quite a story but not very likely to occur in the US military.
