Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (page 29) and index.
Summary One of the most influential struggles of World War II was fought behind the scenes, the battle for intelligence. Enormous resources were devoted to breaking the enemy's code, a feat that could decide the outcome of a battle. Among the reasons for the allied triumph is the creation of a code based on the Navajo language, a code that was never broken. This is the story of how these code talkers lived, worked, and ultimately influenced World War II.
