Hummer:How the Little Truck Company Hit the Big Time,Thanks To Saddam,Schwarzengger,and GM: Good Book.
This is A great book,A little sad Hummer is Gone(Being Brought By A Chinese Co from GM as of this Writing) that way we can have a vehicle that makes Liberals Cringe, I never been a Big fan Of Hummer,Humvees YES. This book is short yet insightful, More of a History Than A Pictorial(has a few color,some B&W ,small hardcover) so it's a good Reader,The Writer Is funny and An Admitted Log Cabin Republican. I like the book, and Whether your A Hummer Fan,(I do like them not love them) or Your A GM Fan*At least when it wasn't Gov't Owned. * This Book is for you.

A former Car & Driver editor, Martin Padgett takes his clever and informative style and applies it to the Hummer. He deftly addresses the sociological causes leading to the Hummer's success, as well as the resulting phenomenon that surrounds the Hummer today. And he does so with humor, making this a fun page-turner.

With the Hummer rage, we needed a little background. Padgett does a remarkable job of telling the whole story. His style is easy and intelligent. This book is a must have for Hummer lovers and history buffs.

I fell in love with Marty Padgett's writing style in his reviews in "Stuff" magazine. Never before had I heard a yard gnome so lovingly referred to. I almost wept. Now he is taking that same passion and applying to Hummer's! A must read for any lover of a Hummer!

This book is a must for all those infatuated with the Hummer craze!! Incredible book dedicated to an incredible truck!!

I am a big Hummer fan and hope to own an H1 someday soon. Halfway into the book I was getting a bit tired of the pro-war rhetoric. Lots of background info though. Well researched. A must for every true Hummer fan!
