Summary: Freedom of a Nations Roll
Comment: Winds of Freedom; The Story of the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II, is a clear-cut must read book. There is a lot to be learned in this book. The Winds of Freedom is an overall memorable story of the Navajo People who played a significant roll during World War II. A mesmerizing experience written by Margaret Bixler, who took over eleven years to do fieldwork and research to learn about the Navajo people remarkable part in World War II. You gain so much knowledge of a tacit tribe. Overall, I found that the Bixler's book was captivating to read and reserved one's mind all the time.

Summary: Navajo history - honest book and very factual
Comment: I shared this book with Navajo friends who said it was very true and real and reminded them of stories from their grandparents..... things that were not previously discussed outside of the Navajo communities, things that were hidden stories and songs, as well as certain traditions, were brought to light.
The depiction of the marine and what hapened when he revealed some of these discussions was very real and the consequences he faced after revealing the truths..... sometimes personal information should not be too exposed.....
Overall, the book was fascinating to read and kept one's attention.... because the code talkers were told to remain silent about their special duties, America lost decades of being able to honor and admire them. Almost 50 years later, the remaining living Navajo men are finally receiving due praise.
This is a definite must read for those who enjoy suspense, mostly non-fiction reading and an overall memorable story. It was fascinating to learn so much about an unspoken tribe.

Summary: American Indians heed the call during WW2
Comment: An interesting and fascinating book on the use of an unknown language, yet part of the American Heritage, which helped defeat the enemy in World War II. A unique outlook on how those that we defeated in the "Indian Wars" actually came to the rescue of our country 100 years later.
There is a lot to be learned in this book for all. My father (WW2 Navy) spoke of these men in hushed and respectful tones. A story that must be preserved as part of our history. Bill says, "read it"!
