Starting a book about the Navajos who kept radio messages from the Japanese in WW2. They spoke in a version of Navajo which the enemy could not figure out. There were about 500 in the war.
"It has been called the auction of the century."

pickI loved some of these graphic stories about women—those being about Bolivia, Vietnam, and Peru. The latter two being beautifully told stories about women‘s experiences. The Bolivian story was difficult to understand at first, lacking depth. But the rest of the story was powerful—about women becoming economically independent. I didn‘t understand the first two stories. The graphics and font made the last one hard to grasp. Still recommended. ⬇️
so-soWhen I read about this, I was super pumped for it, but it ended up just meh. It‘s too much backstory and just plain didn‘t hold my attention. I kinda wish I had bailed.
@dabbe and @TheBookHippie - just came across this on social media and thought of you both and your passionate posting. I know we try to keep the content book related but I also want you to know - you are not alone. #silenceiscompliance
