Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This book presents readers with a fine combination of Navajo history and culture and background information about World War II in the Pacific... The well-written text ... stresses the fact that the Navajo developed the code themselves rather than just using the language as it is normally spoken. Sidebars add interest and details to the text. Maps and vintage photos are well placed and fully documented." --School Library Journal
