Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir By One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII
SouthWestZippy avatar reviewed on + 265 more book reviews


Not a easy book to read because of the intense feelings it summons up or to review because of all the reviews already written.
Chester Nez shares some his life stories while living on the Navajo reservation and some of the horror he witness while in boarding school. The stories about how the Code Talkers started and their work were fascinating. Chester Nez also shares a little about his life after the war. The book reads more like a memoir than it does a history book which I find more engaging, is was like peeking into someones diary. Highly recommend.
