Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir By One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII Audiobook

" This was a fascinating look into the history and details of the Navajo code talkers during WWII. I liked the fact that it was written by one of the original code talkers and that his voice came through during the whole story. It was also nice to learn more about the life of Navajos on the reservation,their experience with boarding schools and forced english training,and about their language in general. "

" I really loved this book! It is a memoir by one of the original Navajo code talkers. Even though it is hard to read about his war experiences, it is also inspiring. I absolutely recommend it. "

" I had never heard of the Navajo Code Talkers during WWII until I visited Window Rock this past October. Nez's account is eye opening and explains many unanswered questions I had after my visit. I highly recommend- "

" I thought some parts of this book were boring, but some weren't. I guess you'll just have to read it to find out more! ; ) "

" Interesting and well written memoir of one of the original Navajo Code talkers of WW2. and the importance of their contribution to the Allied victory. "

" This is an interesting and educational memoir. Worth the read! "

" The boarding school part was almost as scary as the combat parts. I haven't quite read it all, my son and husband are also reading it, and I'm not sure who has it stashed where. "

" Great story. Amazing that they went to war for their country and they were not even allowed to vote at that time. I liked the sections where he is describing his childhood before boarding school of course. "

" I could have subtracted a star for some repetitiveness, but I found this story completely captivating. From early life on the reservation, to the inside peek at the code talkers and beyond, this was a story of patriotism and honor. Very inspiring. "

" A fascinating look at the life of an amazing man, and an education in a section of World War II that I kew only a little bit about. "

" It's strange to think that this is the only memoir of a code talker. I'm glad that it was written. Also, the appendix has the complete code. "

" This topic is fascinating and I certainly learned something from this book. Though, it could have been edited a bit. Parts were far too detailed and it was somewhat redundant. "

" Read Chester's story to understand a world that is mostly gone, men who scarificed for a country that didn't value them as human beings and the dignity and grace we can all learn from them. "

" Really enjoyed this. So glad one of these marines finally told his personal story. "

" Great story. For all of the ill treatment the Navajo people received by the U.S., their patriotism is incredible. "

" I listened to this book on CD. It was absolutely fantastic! "

" Rita.. remember when we saw the Code Talkers in Albq? I felt honored to be in their presence. I think maybe the author of this book was there also and introduced them. "

" It was good, but I wish there was a bit more about WWII. "

" I loved learning about history in story form. The book made me realize that sometimes not-so-great times in our lives benefit us later in life with opportunities. Only a few inappropriate words for a war time book. Enjoyed seeing the actual code at the back of the book. "
