It was the only code that the Japanese were never able to crack. Using first-person accounts, correspondence and Marine Corps documents, this remarkable story tells how Navajo code talkers worked together to create a unique \"\"code-within-a-code,\"\" and serve their country in dangerous combat situations-a daring achievement that remained secret for twenty-four years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Aurora, Colorado, Sally McClain graduated from Longmont High in 1968, attended one year at Colorado State University, moved to Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Magna, Utah and then returned to Longmont, Colorado, where she now resides.
