Author Carol Dean, who appeared at Kirkcudbright Book Week 2024 where she gave a talk based on her popular Native American series of books, has a new title out.
The book, the latest in the series, is titled Navajo Culture and the Unbreakable Code and tells how Native Americans worked secretly during both World Wars, using their language, which had been banned by ‘the white man’ for many years, to create unbreakable codes.
The Navajo language is so complex that you have to be a full Navajo native to begin to understand the nuances involved. The book brings to life those warriors from the Navajo Nation during World War Two who, fluent in both their own native language and English, devised code to be sent and received as messages during the American/ Japan conflict.
The book is on sale through Carol’s website https://www.caroldeanbooks.com or Amazon.
