OVERALL CONDITION & APPEARANCE: VERY GOOD.FROM THE INTERNET: Warriors: Navajo Code Talkers is a tribute book to the Navajo marines who served as code talkers during the Second World War.. The American offensive in the Pacific during World War II was hampered by the Japanese ability to crack the most secret U.S. Codes. Navajo was virtually unknown outside the reservations, ... and their code proved uncrackable. Kenji Kawano's striking photographs capture the quiet dignity of the surviving veterans as they recall their actions. Marine Corps leadership selected 29 Navajo men, the Navajo Code Talkers, who created a code based on the complex, unwritten Navajo language. The code primarily used word association by assigning a Navajo word to key phrases and military tactics. Throughout the war, the Japanese were repeatedly baffled and infuriated by these seemingly inhuman sounds. They conformed to no linguistic system known to the Japanese.BOOK #292-28f.
