Good coverage of the entire history of the Jeep brandname. Very good from the 70's to the present giving the reader every peice of information on the fast moving changes of the last 20 years. My only complaint is the 50's and 60's history is weak. Overall an easy to read and informative book.

SATURATED WITH JEEP INFORMATION,COVERS ALL MASS PRODUCED MILITARY AND CIVILIAN JEEPS AND THE BEST CONCEPT SECTION I'VE EVER SEEN.PLENTY OF PHOTOS FOR ANY JEEP FAN INCLUDING ADS.

What I like about this book is that it covers the history of Jeep as a business entity as well as a vehicle. Foster is a well-respected historian and he really did a fantastic job with this book. The photos alone are worth the price- including views inside the Jeep factory, plus unusual overseas Jeep models. The book has a wealth of pictures. This is without a doubt the best history of Jeep ever.

I liked the book, but I thought the book, Jeep Color History by Steve Statham was more thorough and had better pictures.

This is a complete history of Jeep from military vehicle concept to Grand Cherokee Limited. Foster has done the research to show us how a concept for a military vehicle transformed itself into a full range of vehicles that has endured for a half century. Foster takes us through the many companies that have owned Jeep, showing us their strengths as well as their weaknesses in developing the products and the brand. A great story of how a unique niche vehicle could grow and thrive by defining a market even before many knew the market existed!

This book was in great shape, the price was reasonable, and it got here fast.
