Summary of Chester Nez & Judith Schiess Avila's Code Talker
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1
I was a man now. I'd volunteered for the Marines just seven months before, in April 1942, only a few months after the Japanese strike against Pearl Harbor. Until then, I'd never left Navajo land.
#2
The ship would not reach Guadalcanal for a couple of hours. I walked below several levels to the mess hall, where the taut faces of the other twelve code talkers greeted me. We were all dressed the same. Our combat uniforms were a gray-tan color, a bit grayer than the color now commonly called khaki.
#3
When we landed on Guadalcanal, we were briefed on what to expect when we got to the water and on the island. I promised myself that I would be brave, but the air vibrated with apprehension.
#4
The most terrifying day of my life was November 4, 1942, when I landed on Guadalcanal with the Marines. I was scared, but I knew I had to do it. I was defending both my country and my family.
