Since exploding on the scene as "the world's greatest fighting machine" at the proving grounds of Camp Holabird, Maryland, in 1940, the Jeep now holds the title as perhaps one of America's most beloved vehicles. How did Jeep go from a life-saving godsend at Normandy, Inchon, and the jungles of Vietnam to the comfortable, well-built sport utility vehicle of today? Jeep historian and former Jeep salesman Patrick Foster uncovers 60 years of Jeep development with dozens of rare photogrpahs plus a complete historical background of today's Cherokees, Wranglers and Grand Cherokees. It covers early Jeep prototypes, Jeeps of the future and a special chapter on the most desirable and collectible Jeeps of particular interest to collectors. Every Jeep made, model-by-model, is completely detailed and illustrated for simple identification.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good overview of entire Jeep history,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Story of Jeep (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A true history of Jeep,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Story of Jeep (Paperback)
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.
