Excellent book on history of International Harvestor and Frank G. Hough construction equipment companies.Describes the creation and merger of these companies and their subsequent success and failures of their products.I enjoy reading construction machinery books that are not afraid to describe in detail why a particular piece of equipment failed in the field due to some type of design flaw.This author did not disappoint me in that area.As always plenty of neat photos of brand new equipment right out of the factory and also in use at job sites past to present.Only minor gripe I have is the dedication page credits some of the authors machinery photos that are nowhere to be found.This seems trivial but seems to be a trend as another earthmover book I have just thumbed thru very obviously has dropped the ball big time in accuracy and description.But that is a review for another day.

It's a good book and easy to read. Could have had more pics of the dozers and some of the other models though. It would have been nice to have seen a spec page on each of the machines or atleast the most popular ones.

Found this book to be everything I was told it would be.
Thanks to the editors and publishers
Thanks again
