A very good book that contains interesting background facts about Chester Nez. His early childhood training and first exposure to "white men" set the groundwork for his Marine career. While the book didn't go into a lot of detail of the conflicts Chester was in it did bring enough attention to the daily routine and the importance of the Code Talkers. This is a worthwhile first hand account of the development and use of the Navajo language as the only unbroken code used in WWII.
