Samuel Holiday was one of a small group of Navajo men enlisted by the Marine Corps during World War II to use their native language to transmit secret communications on the battlefield. Based on extensive interviews with Robert S. McPherson, Under the Eagle is Holiday's vivid account of his own story. It is the only book-length oral history of a Navajo code talker in which the narrator relates his experiences in his own voice and words. Under the Eagle carries the reader from Holiday's childhood years in rural Monument Valley, Utah, into the world of the United States's Pacific campaign against Japan--to such places as Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima. Central to Holiday's story is his Navajo worldview, which shapes how he views his upbringing in Utah, his time at an Indian boarding school, and his experiences during World War II. Holiday's story, coupled with historical and cultural commentary by McPherson, shows how traditional Navajo practices gave strength and healing to soldiers facing danger and hardship and to veterans during their difficult readjustment to life after the war. The Navajo code talkers have become famous in recent years through books and movies that have dramatized their remarkable story. Their wartime achievements are also a source of national pride for the Navajos. And yet, as McPherson explains, Holiday's own experience was "as much mental and spiritual as it was physical." This decorated marine served "under the eagle" not only as a soldier but also as a Navajo man deeply aware of his cultural obligations.Binding Type: Paperback

Great price, fresh, good flavor. Will order again.
Size: 16 OZ
I took a chance, ordered 2, and was pleasantly surprised by these. Great price, and amazing flavor. 90% of them were ripe and ready to eat. Plump, good size strawberries. They for all healthy and moist as they should be, not one was dried out or starting to go bad. I will buy them again from Amazon now that I know they have quality strawberries to deliver. They were "durable" and survived the delivery to the porch just fine. Yummy!

They Have Flavor
Size: 16 OZ
Most of the time, these strawberries are fresh and great tasting. One of our orders was came with the "California Giant" brand. They were less flavorful and some had mildew. These later ones I'd give 2 stars (which actually asked to return them and received credit). Amazon is excellent with backing up their sales.

Everyone in my neighborhood loves these!
Size: 16 OZ
When we find an especially great fresh food product on Amazon, the neighbors spread the word. These strawberries area always all ripe (no green ones or rotten ones hiding in the bottom), and delicious. Great price, too. I use them in salads, smoothies, and fresh fruit snacks.
