From the Author
This book is based on interviews with many code talkers.
Researching and writing this book about the Navajo code talkers was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Many of the men who invented and used this code, which was never broken during World War II, still live on the Navajo Reservation in a beautiful corner where Arizona meets New Mexico. Julie Miner, the illustrator, and I spent many hours listening to the stories and meeting the families of these modest, soft spoken men who left a world they knew because they were desperately needed for a secret project. Because the code was not declassified until almost a quarter of a century later, they could not tell anyone about it. There were no parades when they came home from the war. In fact, many were still discriminated against when they applied for jobs off the Reservation. Now, their story is becoming better known and they are at last receiving the recognition they deserve. For some, it came too late. I first heard the story of the Navajo Code Talkers from a close college friend, Heather Wilson, who was a Nez Perce Indian. She died during the writing of this book and it is to her that the book is dedicated. She exemplified the same strength, humor, and spirit as the code talkers. Hers, like theirs, is a life to be celebrated.
