First edition, second printing. Oblong 8vo. Quarter cloth and boards, titles stamped in black on the front cover and spine, red front and rear endpapers, 17 pp. printed one side only, double column, attachments, suggested reading. During World War II, 29 Navajo Marines were given the task of creating a code using their language, which developed into a system used by more than 400 fellow Navajos to relay information in a language the Japanese were never able to decipher. They came to be known as the Navajo Code Talkers. This unique, interactive book includes a brief history of the Navajo Code Talkers, a lesson on learning and using the code, and a four-page foldout of the original Code Talker dictionary.
