Code Talker Paperback - 2012
by Chester Nez; Judith Schiess Avila
During World War II, the Japanese had managed to crack every code the United States used. But when the Marines turned to its Navajo recruits to develop a secret military language, they created the only unbroken code in modern warfare--and helped assure victory for the U.S.
Summary
He is the only original World War II Navajo code talker still aliveand this is his story . . .
His name wasn’t Chester Nez. That was the English name he was assigned in kindergarten. And in boarding school at Fort Defiance, he was punished for speaking his native language, as the teachers sought to rid him of his culture and traditions. But discrimination didn’t stop Chester from answering the call to defend his country after Pearl Harbor, for the Navajo have always been warriors, and his upbringing on a New Mexico reservation gave him the strengthboth physical and mentalto excel as a marine.
