This book is all about a Navajo Boy named Ned Begay, and he is sent to boarding school at the age of six and there his sacred language and ways are trampled into the ground. He does well in geography and is a great student. Then Pearl Harbor is attacked by the Japanese but Ned is to young to enlist. He waits two long years and then lies his way into the marines. He then is sent to boot camp where he learns that all of the Navajos are being used to develop a secret code that is used in the battlefield. Then, they are shipped off to a tiny Pacific island called Bouganville. They are all extremely nervous about the landing, but will Ned survive. You'll have to read the book to find out.
