Books Beyond Borders,c, 1994. 1ST. HARDBOUND. LIKE NEW. Title Navajo Weapon Author S. McLain; S. McClain; Jan Kristiansson (Editor) Binding HARDBOUND Edition First Edition Pages 304 Volumes 1 Language ENG Publisher Books Beyond Borders Inc, Boulder, CO Date 1994 ISBN 9781883862077 / 1883862078 Weight 1.43 lbs (0.65 kg) Dimensions 9.35 x 6.37 x 1.02 in (23.75 x 16.18 x 2.59 cm) The Navajo Code Talkers describes how the U.S. Marine Corps recruited young Navajo warriors to create a secret code, using their native language that many of them had once been forbidden to speak. The Navajo Code Talkers played decisive roles in the Pacific Theater and helped turned the tide in the bloody battles for Bougainville, Cape Gloucester, New Britain, Saipan, Guam, Peleliu, and Iwo Jima. Their unbreakable code helped save countless American lives and earned the Navajo Code Talkers the undying respect of their comrades in arms. The true story that inspired Windtalkers, a major summer 2002 release that honors the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II, directed by John Woo (Mission: Impossible 2) and starring Nicholas Cage and Adam Beach.
