While AM General is almost totally unknown, it makes some of the most recognizable vehicles in the world including the Hummer, Humvee, and postal Jeeps. During its relatively short life AM General has produced a wide range of commercial and military vehicles including postal service Jeeps and vans, military trucks from the 1/4- up to 5-ton models, military trailers, transit buses, motor home chassis, and more. Inside, widely respected author Patrick Foster gives the reader an in-depth look at AM General and its vehicles with spectacular black and white photographs combined with insightful captions. A treat for all enthusiasts!

This review is from: AM General: Hummers, Mutts, Buses & Postal Jeeps (Photo Archive) (Paperback)
I own an AM General Postal Jeep. As a result, I wanted to know more about my Jeep, and the company who built it. This book was a fun read, it gave me the information I wanted, and it is a nice bit of trivia of American automotive history.

This review is from: AM General: Hummers, Mutts, Buses & Postal Jeeps (Photo Archive) (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was looking for information about the history of the original Hummer and it's creator AM General. This book offers a lot of details about the other products from this manufacturer as well. Expect good information on the M44 trucks, postal jeeps, buses and of course both Humvees and Hummers.
All in all a short yet good read for people interested in AM General and it's products that are, except for one of course, mostly unknown by the public.
