Code Talker: A Novel about the Navajo Marines of World War Two by Joseph Bruchac

4.0

I loved this, although throughout I failed to understand the strong sense of loyalty the narrator described. The Navajo keep a vivid oral history of the abuses rained on their people. The main character was treated poorly his entire life by the people and government of america. I understand his strong ties to the land and his own people, but am missing the important leap that made him so loyal to america itself.
