Critics Review

Native Americans in WWI and WWII used their cultural strength through sovereign language as a military advantage. The new edition of The Comanche Code Talkers of World War II by William Meadows is an important historical account, preserving the accurate record of the Code Talkers. Choctaw Nation is proud to have our Code Talker history honored.

–Judy Allen, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Historic Projects Office

Of all the books on Native American service in the U.S. armed forces, this is the best. Readers will find the story of the Comanche Code Talkers compelling, humorous, thought-provoking, and inspiring.

–Tom Holm, author of Strong Hearts, Wounded Souls: Native American Veterans of the Vietnam War
