papidoc 's review for:
Chester Nez was one of the original code talkers during World War II. Along with the others, he helped develop the code that remained unbreakable throughout the way, and until it was no longer in use. After helping to develop the code, he spent the rest of his time in the military in the Pacific Theatre, using the code to protect American intelligence, and preserve American lives. He comes across as faithful to Navajo traditions, and both humble and hard-working in his own right.
Excellent biography based on extensive interviews with Chester Nez himself. Describes his childhood and teenage years, which directly influenced his ability to help create and then use the Navajo code in WWII. Recounts his activities during the war, and then more briefly describes his life after the war. Well-written, and there is nothing better than hearing directly from the subject of the biography.
