Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir By One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII by Judith Schiess Avila, Chester Nez

5.0

---

I read this title for my book club’s March 2021 espionage theme. This is the fascinating true story of the Navajo code talkers, a cohort of Navajo men recruited to the U.S. Marines during WWII to develop a code from their own language that the Japanese military would be unable to break. Told by one of the original Navajo code talkers, Chester Nez.
