Review by Denver Patron |
| It is a very interesting and informative book based on a true story in American History. I liked it so much, I read it twice - and picked it out as my free book today from the summer of reading program. This book chronicles the Navajo Code Talkers of World War 2, and helps us understand how important their contribution was. |
