About the book >.>.> This book is the story of the Jeep-that gallant four-wheeled vehicle that meant so much to us in war and promises to mean so much to us in peace. As war destroys so does it build and out of its exigencies was born a new conception of communication and transportation. Strictly an American product evolved from years of study and experimentation by United States Army men and American automotive engineers the Jeep is a symbol of our countrymen’s ingenuity and know-how. In its bulldog tenacity to hold on come hell or high water in its dogged determination to keep slogging even when the road ends the Jeep typifies America. Through honest performance and sheer merit the Jeep became the emblem of our armed forces America’s good-will ambassador-at-large. Its toughness was its calling card its amiability its surety of welcome. Originally designed and built as a reconnaissance car for the United States Army the rugged little warrior immediately proved itself capable of performing incredible feats. Because of its durability and versatility the Jeep brought with it new methods of fighting a war; the history of the Jeep in battle gives a clear picture of military tactics in World War II. Hitched to a plow the improved peacetime Jeep can till the soil; unhitched it can take the farmer to town. No terrain is too rough for it and no going is too tough. To the hunter sportsman traveler or laborer the Jeep offers a startling number of uses.
