A comprehensive history of Jeep ... the company, the products and the market. Covers the entire period from the original Jeep that was commissioned by the military up to and including the 2020 models with a vast array of photos included. It would make a great coffee table book for Jeep enthusiasts.

Jeep: The History of America's Greatest Vehicle is an updated edition of the history and models of the iconic brand. Originally released in 2014, this reformat and re-release due out 14th Jan 2020 from Quarto on their Motorbooks imprint is 192 pages and will be available in paperback format.

Author Pat Foster is an automotive journalist and one of the foremost authorities on Jeep, AMC, and related brands. In other words, he knows what he's talking about. His engagement with the subject shines through in the prose. The story begins with a number of exciting tales from WW2 and continues through the next 80 years of developmental history.

The chapters are arranged chronologically from WW2 to 2019. There's a cross referenced index and the book is peppered throughout with sidebar info and annotations for further reading. I was maybe most impressed with the scope of this book. This is a comprehensive history and retrospective full of information and trivia and lavishly illustrated.

Five stars. This would make a superlative gift for car enthusiasts and especially for fans of the brand.

If you are a fan of Jeeps, this will be of interest to you. Many very rare pictures. A lot of in depth text describing the history of Jeeps and their predecessors. Goes all the way up to the current JL and Gladiator.
