Navajo Code Talkers: Voices of the Unbreakable Code by Cyril Marlen tells the extraordinary true story of how a group of young Navajo men turned their ancient language into the most secure military code of World War II—one that not even the best enemy cryptographers could break.
When American forces fought their way across the Pacific, secure communication became a matter of life and death. Japanese intelligence had cracked nearly every code the Allies used—until the U.S. Marine Corps enlisted the help of the Navajo Nation. Speaking a language so complex, unwritten, and unique that almost no outsiders could understand it, the Navajo Code Talkers developed an encryption system that was fast, flexible, and utterly indecipherable.
Drawing on historical records and first-hand accounts, Marlen brings to life how these 29 original recruits—farmers, shepherds, and students from remote corners of the Southwest—became warriors of words. They transformed their mother tongue into a living cipher, where tanks became “turtles,” planes became “hummingbirds,” and bombs were “eggs.” From the blood-soaked beaches of Guadalcanal and Tarawa to the desperate fight for Iwo Jima, their coded messages directed troop movements, artillery fire, and rescues with flawless precision. Not one transmission was ever compromised.
