4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for the Hummer owners & Hummer admirers!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hummer: The Next Generation (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)
This is a great Hummer book for people with Hummers and without. I'm 17 years old, and of course do not have a Hummer, but I still love them and this book. This book has a lot of cool pictures and tells you about the history of the Hummer. It gives a lot of cool Hummer facts for people who know and don't know a lot about Hummers. For those who own hummers it gives a lot of tips and ways to drive your vihicle. It tells you exactly what your Hummer can do and what to do if and when you get stuck off road. I definately recomend this book for those who own and don't own Hummers!!! Also if you know of any great books that are cool for people who don't own hummers please e-mail me. Put HUMMER in the subject and if you know of any dealers who will mail me some information please tell me.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Probably the definitive book on HMMWV and Hummers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hummer: The Next Generation (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)
This is by far the best book on the subject regarding both the military and civilian version of AM General's ultimate four-wheel-drive vehicle. It contains the historical development of the Hum-vee from the prototype via Heavy Hummer Variant, A1up to the A2 model and covers most types and applications.The civilian spin-off vehicle is treated in a similarly comprehensive fashion. The photos are good, plentyful and representative. It is my bible on the subject yet it is not a tome but concise and informative!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good read for the general public,
This review is from: Hummer: The Next Generation (Enthusiast Color) (Paperback)
This book offers a good amount of information on the world's most serious 4x4. The history is informative, and there is a fair amount of action shots.I wish that the author/publisher would release a new edition that is a little more timely and up-to-date. This book is very good for the casual enthusiast, and a must-have for the collector, but lacks some hi-res detail of specifications and some dimensional data needed for a hard-core Hummer fan.
