Summary Of George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring

When you think of WWII, you think of Europe, but you would be surprised how much happened in the Pacific. In the Pacific, the U.S took over island after island from Japan. The Navajo code talkers sent messages in their native language to other code talkers. Navajo code talkers totally changed the outcome of the war.

McCullough, David. 1776. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2005. In this book, 1776, David McCullough uses strong and effective voices to describe the soldiers and the patriots during the Revolutionary War in the United States. The author describes how the Americans squabbling, disparate colonies to became the United States, and how the British Empire tried to stop them.

Over the summer I read the book 1776 by David McCullough. In the first part, The Siege, we get a great look into the start of the American Revolutionary War, and we receive fantastic points of view from both the American and British sides of the war. In the beginning, we see King George III declares the American Colonies to be in acting in rebellion. King George had never been to America, and he felt that America should “be made to obey”. With that small statement, King George exercised an egregious act of tyranny, basically setting up the American Revolutionary War.

During World War II (WWII) in the South Pacific, more than 110,000 Americans were killed and another 250,000 were injured. Americans soldiers were not used to the climate, geography, or the style of fighting. The Japanese began intercepting and easily decoding the American messages. It became even more difficult to fight the Japanese and the American casualties kept building up. Because of the courage and dedication to America exhibited by the Navajo code talkers, WWII ended faster and with less casualties than if the Marines had used only traditional codes and coders.

During World War II, Navajo Code Talkers had their own language to communicate with their friends during the war. This way the enemies didn’t know any of their plans or what they were saying. They had bilingual Navajo people to translate it once they talked over the radio. They were saving thousands of lives with their language. During 1942, The war was not going well for America.

The Navajo Code Talkers The Navajo Code Talkers performed a role that changed the outcome of World War II. With Britain on the verge of complete destruction due to constant bombings, and with France about to surrender, U.S. intervention was necessary for the greater good of world against fascism of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Navajo Code provided the U.S. with strategic advantage to combat the Axis Powers and aided in numerous victories. While it was not the first of its kind to be used in U.S. army, it left a lasting impression on the history of warfare and the events of the twentieth century.

“I thought about it a lot of times, to defend our land and the people. As a young man I thought that if I joined the marine corps my people would have the chance to enjoy the freedom” (Nez and Avila, 15). The Navajo Code Talkers, a branch of the Marines that created a coded communication spoken in their native tongue of Diné, were a major key in the American strategy during World War II in the Pacific. However, the Navajo men who served as the Code Talkers had to overcome their sheltered, racially stunted early life, survive the harsh conditions of the Pacific theater warfront, and then to keep all of their contributions to the war a secret until the government released classified documents decades later.

Atlas Shrugged describes in length various philosophical attitudes of humanity. Attitudes such as: what defines an ideal man? What is the moral code that defines a man’s existence? The character, Hank Rearden at his trial and in the events of the story, fights the moral codes: “Nothing is absolute” (265), "Reality is only an illusion” (498) proposed by the great intellect, Dr. Simon Pritchett. “Nothing exists but contradictions" (341) the affirmative stance of a scientist, Dr. Robert Stadler.

The American Revolution is undoubtedly one of the most defining events in American history. The American colonists, after suffering under unjust and improper taxation, decided to revolt from Great Britain and sought to become a nation of sovereign, independent states. “Taxation without representation,” as we have come to know this as, is perhaps the most major cause of the war. The climax of this war, the Yorktown Campaign, perfectly encapsulates the colonists’ desire for independence and their yearning for their own sovereignty (History).

In "Navajo code talkers", Platt articulates that Navajo code was unbreakable in communication lines during World War II, which results in a secure, reliable and concealed transmission. Platt emphasises that without Navajo Code, history would be different as message intercepted would be easily decoded causing plans to fail. In the article, Navajo code was an unwritten and endemic language which makes it incomprehensible to understand. As a result, enemies were not able to decode any intercepted messages putting them at a disadvantage during the war.

The Navajo Code Talkers During World War II, the Navajo code was among the most complicated and most important codes of all time. It was created so that the Axis powers, Germany, Italy and Japan, could not understand the messages the Allies were sending to each other. The United States of America was a key ally. And the code was successful. The so-called code talkers successfully sent over 800 messages throughout the war without error.

During the 1700s America and it’s 13 colonies made a bold decision to revolt from Great Britain and become their own independent nation. This started a revolution that would forever change the way Americans would live. The War of Independence or better known as the American Revolution, consisted of the 13 colonies of America trying to gain independence from Great Britain and on July 4th 1776, America finally decided to declare their independence. Many say the revolution paved the way for many other great changes to take place, while others believed not a lot was impacted due to the revolution. This raises the question, “How Revolutionary was the American Revolution?”

Code Talkers Ingenious-clever, original, and inventive. The Navajo Code Talkers and the creators of the code were all ingenious. During World War II, the Allied forces were having terrible communication problems, and the Japanese forces on the Pacific were cracking codes faster than new ones could be made.

The American Revolution (1700-1790) was a historical event in time, where the Thirteen Colonies that became the United States of America, gained independence from the British Empire. Many historians would agree that the Revolution was caused by events and the growing differences between the colonists and England. The cause of the American Revolution could be summarized in the saying ‘liberty vs. tyranny’. The American Revolution was a struggle by liberty-loving Americans to free themselves from a dictatorial British rule. In this period, the Colonies protested against the British Empire and entered into the American Revolutionary War, also known as the American War of Independence.

Every text an individual reads contains messages. There is a small line between reading messages directly or indirectly from the text. Many texts throughout history can be found to have numerous messages both unintentially and intentionally placed in them by their author/s. A common feature of texts is that the author deliberately inserts mesages, however the reader regularly notices only the messages which are obvious and not the ones that are indirectly hidden. Pope (2015) states that these messages are placed with the author's intention of providing a lesson for the reader to learn.
