There really is only one book written by a Code Talker and this book he explains how the famous talkers where formed and where they served.One of the more interesting aspects of this book concerns the man’s life and culture. The author spends a lot of time explaining Navaho traditions and beliefs. He does a priceless job of interweaving this into the history of the second world war. This is truly what makes his book special. I enjoyed these moments learning about the Navaho as much as I enjoyed the sections dealing with the war in eh Pacific.None-the-less a sense of modesty of the author leaves out specific details regarding his personal performance in the war. But he showers his contemporaries with praise for their action. I would have liked more detail about the specific battles. This may be a cultural thing as he says his people are very private people who do not boast of their personal accomplishments.This book has a priceless place in history. I was amazed to find that native American languages had been used in WWI to confuse to Germans. However, they were not used to a higher level until World War Two.There are many great personal accounts of World War Two. But there really isn’t anything to compare this one to. It is really the only book written by a Code Talker. If you want to know more about the war in the Pacific in general I would recommend, “With the Old Breed,” by E.B. Sledge an, “Helmet for my Pillow,“ by Robert Leckie. Both of these men fought in battles that would have had code talkers serving win the ranks. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An extraordinary account of the life and deeds of one Code Talker *by W***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2018* I started reading this book because I happened to meet the author's daughter and grand-children purely by accident in a national park. His daughter told me a bit about his history and his time in the Armed Forces, which made me need to know more about how the miracle of the code-talkers ever came about. The book doesn't limit itself to just the military part of his life, however. This is also a detailed and heart-breaking account of the destruction of a whole way of life that started in this man's youth and continues today and can't ever be healed. The times before and after World War II are as fascinating and gripping as the war period itself. I was overwhelmed by the story. Please honor this man by reading his book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessary. Ignorance kills. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019* I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the whole truth about our conflicts and our soldiers who volunteer their very lives. Often times, there are people who are overlooked when it comes to these things. People who seemingly participated invisibly w/ no one to acknowledge or appreciate their sacrifices.Our people are tremendously proud of our warriors who went to battle to protect OUR home, our people and our way of life. Even if it meant standing shoulder to shoulder w/ those who had persecuted our peoples. Our grandfathers deserve acknowledgement for what they did. Our language, that which we were not permitted to utter a word of back home, was the key. That needs to be known. And appreciated. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/99192237-code-talker-the-first-and-only-memoir-by-one-original](https://www.desertcart.in/products/99192237-code-talker-the-first-and-only-memoir-by-one-original) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
