Amid the shelling and slaughter of World War II, patriots emerged to answer the American call to sacrifice for the preservation of freedom. Among the most vital, unique, and heroic of these people and perhaps the least heralded were the members of the Navajo Indian Tribe, first Americans, who rallied together in a valiant defense of their nation.

The critically acclaimed book The Navajo Code Talkers by Doris A. Paul, now re-issued in a special 50th Anniversary edition, remains the single most comprehensive historical account of the contribution of the Navajo Americans during World War II. First appearing in 1973, The Navajo Code Talkers was one of the first published efforts to tackle the fascinating subject of how Navajo Marines developed a code based on their own language. Their code was never broken by the Japanese.

From the codes inception by Los Angeles engineer Philip Johnston through its development and ultimate battlefield implementation, The Navajo Code Talkers presents the story of this crucial element of the war effort in a well-organized, thoroughly researched manner abounding with excitement, national pride, and poignant humor. This inspirational work is liberally illustrated with photographs of the men in action in the South Pacific and substantiated by excerpts from official documents, correspondence with officers who worked with the Navajos, and interviews with code talkers.

On July 26, 2001, the United States Congress awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the twenty-nine code talkers who developed the heralded, unbreakable military code. President George W. Bush presented the medals to four of the five living code talkers and to family members of the original twenty-nine who had passed away.

Doris A. Paul’s story of heroism and staunch patriotism has forever immortalized the bravery and ingenuity of the Navajo, and its timeless themes of pride and sacrifice preserve its place as a classical contribution to Native American history. The Navajo Code Talkers is a book for all times and people.

Quality frame - turns a puzzle into art
Color: Black, Size: 19.7x27.6, Color: Black, Size: 19.7x27.6
This puzzle frame worked perfectly for my 50cm x 70cm puzzle—it fits exactly and really transforms the finished puzzle into a beautiful display piece. The frame is well constructed and has a clean, finished look that doesn’t come across as cheap plastic. Mounting the puzzle was very easy, and everything sat securely once in place. It arrived well packaged with no damage, and the protective plastic sheet is a nice touch. It keeps the puzzle safe while being much lighter than glass, which makes hanging and handling easier. Overall, this is a quality frame that makes your completed puzzle look like real wall art.

Superior construction & reasonable cost!
Color: Black, Size: 8x12
I had one old picture that was this odd size. I didn't want to spend a fortune, and this fit the price. When it came I was so impressed with the quality. Not glass, but I love the ease of construction with swinging tabs that held the back on instead of those cheap flat pegs you can't get back in the holes.. Excellant, superior. I love it! I hope it comes in more normal sizes as well, like 8x10, 11x14, 16x20 even!

Excellent solution at a great price point!!
Color: Black, Size: 5.5x8.5, Color: Black, Size: 5.5x8.5
Just received, opened package, and this is exactly what was needed. It fits certificates, documents perfectly. Needed the 8.5x5.5 size to fit a certificate and in prior years I had to to modify the document to fit a 5x7 frame (had no idea there was the perfect size available) and it was very low cost and very well made! The black frame has a soft texture which I love, and the Plexiglas material is rigid and not easily broken. It has numerous hanging or standing options.

Beautiful Non-Glass Frame
Color: Bronze, Size: 12x16
Love this frame!! I'm so in love with the new type of frame backing this one had! I hate those frames that have those tiny thin metal tabs that stick out where you have to bend up/down to remove backing but not this one! It has these really easy to use metal springs that you push down & turn & it easy pops out! Wish frames all came w actual glass! I thought this one had glass but was wrong, it has the thin plexiglass type covering where you remove the clear stickers from front/back. It will work but because I have it used in a bathroom, I will need to get a glass replacement eventually. Love the gold color, it's a really pretty gold, not overly yellow. Overall, I think its a nice frame & such a great value.

Gorgeous Distressed Bronze Frame, Easy to Hang
Color: Bronze, Size: 18x24, Color: Bronze, Size: 18x24
This bronze frame looks really, really good—honestly, it passes for real bronze at a glance. It has a nice distressed finish that gives it some character without overdoing it. It’s also surprisingly lightweight, which makes it much easier to hang on the wall. The overall build feels solid, and I don’t see any issues with it coming apart or feeling cheap. I especially like the back—everything is well thought out, from the sawtooth hangers to the tabs that make it easy to open and insert your print. I didn’t have my print yet to put in it, or I would’ve included a photo of it fully set up, but I added some pictures to show the detail and the back hardware. Great-looking frame, well made, and easy to work with. Definitely happy with it.
