Editorial Reviews

Product Description: Adapted from a spartan military design, Jeep defined the standard for civilian off-road performance in the 1950s. Today, as an integral member of the DaimlerChrysler family, Jeep is a major player in the high-end sport utility market. With special attention to the development of the off-road and SUV markets, this color history profiles Jeep's remarkable evolution from its years as the stout cornerstone of American Motors through its incorporation into Chrysler. Striking color photography of classic Jeeps from throughout the years includes such popular and collectible models like CJs, pickups, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, military Jeeps, Wagoneers, Cherokees, Wranglers, and more.

More detailed than the book "Jeep" by Jim Allen. Get a little deeper into the "Jeepmania". Also recommended for new Jeep enthusiasts and people considering buying a vintage Jeep for hobby or restoration. Helps orient one to make the right choice.

This book has some great pictures. It is the best book on Jeep history I've seen. I especially liked the part on the Jeepsters.

I liked this book alot better than "The story of Jeeps".

This is absolutely one of his and the markets best book. Magnificent photography--the places the photos were shot at accented the Jeeps ruggedness. Steve's writing skills are superb. A must buy for Jeep lovers and auto lovers alike! This book

Wow...I never knew so little about the long and colorful history of America's military workhorse. The historic photos really tell the story of the vehicle so many have come to love and own!
