The jeep was the most famous military vehicle of World War II, and its name has become synonymous with a whole class of military and civilian all-terrain vehicles. The jeep originated in a prewar US Army requirement for a simple, inexpensive, and robust vehicle for basic utility chores. Its simple design proved to be adaptable to a host of military tasks including use as a scout vehicle, battlefield ambulance, communications vehicle, and staff car. This book, covering “the savior of World War II”, focuses on the design and development of this versatile vehicle used on nearly every front of World War II.

History is Fun

ByRon Fabrettion February 1, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Learning about the beginnings of the Jeep and following the interactions of the players in the development of the Jeep not only held my attention but demonstrated insights into the workings of the large and small players in a changing and many times unpredictable market.
After some digestion I'll be picking it up again soon.

Extremely basic treatise on a fairly complex subject. If you're a kid or casual observer, this book is for you.

Waste of money

ByChe Mohammadon August 29, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Very amaturist, poor collection of tired old jeep pictures seen in almost every book on WW2, on the bizare note had computer generated pictures of jeeps in combat. This book is suited for children in grammer school, like,"Here comes the fire engine", or "Lets look at an airplane".

don't waste your money

Byrelichunteron March 3, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

this book has very few photo's that are worth anything,probably half of this book is devoted to odd variations of jeeps,i wanted a book about the jeep in combat with combat photo's,and this is not it,if you are looking for a book with good ww2 jeep photo's and info don't buy this book,i was very disappointed.

Find roundup

This book is a fine roundup which clears much misconception of the early Jeeps and adds considerable detail of the Jeep and its ken.Read more
