Genre: Historical Fiction
Code Talker: A Novel about the Navajo Marines of World War II
by Joseph Bruchac
Six-year-old Ned Begay leaves his Navajo home for boarding school,
where he learns the English language and American ways. At 16, he
enlists in the U.S. Marines during World War II and is trained as a
code talker, using his native language to radio battlefield
information and commands in a code that was kept secret until 1969.
Rooted in his Navajo consciousness and traditions even in dealing
with fear, loneliness, and the horrors of the battlefield, Ned tells
of his experiences in Hawaii, Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Guam, Iwo
Jima, and Okinawa. The book, addressed to Ned's grandchildren, ends
with an author's note about the code talkers. $8.00
