Book Synopsis

En el Pacífico Sur, en 1944 y 1945, se libraron batallas militares entre Estados Unidos y Japón. Rodeados del traqueteo de las balas y las explosiones de las bombas, un grupo de marines navajos enviaba mensajes secretos de un lado a otro. Usaron un código que crearon a partir del idioma navajo, y que el enemigo nunca pudo descifrar.

Estos jóvenes fueron reclutados de sus hogares en el suroeste de Estados Unidos. Trajeron consigo una resistencia física increíble y un lenguaje que nunca había sido escrito. Aprende sobre los locutores de claves navajos: héroes valientes y creativos que usaron su código indescifrable para ayudar a los Aliados a ganar la guerra.
