Native American Code Talker in World War II by Ed Gilbert
ISBN: 9781846032691 PUBLISHER: Osprey Publishing FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 64 PUBLICATION DATE: 2.04.2008 DIMENSIONS: 248mmX184mmX7mm 245grams
DESCRIPTION: Osprey's examination of the Native Americans' participation in World War II (1939-1945). Ed Gilbert uses personal interviews with veterans to tell their fascinating story. Beginning with the first operational use of Native American languages in World War I, he explores how in World War II the US again came to employ this subtle, but powerful "weapon." Despite all efforts, the Japanese were never able to decode their messages and the Navajo code talkers contributed significantly to US victories in the Pacific. Approximately 400 Navajos served in this crucial role. Their legend of the "code talker" has been celebrated by Hollywood in films, such as Windtalkers, and this book reveals the real-life story of their extraordinary involvement in World War II.
