After my son read this for the first time last year, he said the exact same thing I had said to myself when I first read it: “That was more interesting than I thought it would be!” It truly was. It’s a lesser-known aspect of WWII and somewhat “local” to us Arizonans, which makes it doubly intriguing.
“Were it not for the Navajo, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima.”
Marine Major Howard Conner
Overall, this book is a remarkable resource!
