What is The Jeep : the complete history of an American icon about?

This illustrated account of the extraordinary career of the Jeep takes the story from the early 1940s to the turn of the century. Historical photographs collected give a keen insight into the thinking behind the Jeep and its consistent development into the rugged, functional off-road machine it has become. This text should be of interest to Jeep owners and enthusiasts, and to all whom are interested in the story of four-wheel drive. The Jeep was conceived as a simple, robust, light utility vehicle for the Allied armies of World War II. Since then, it has efficiently served the same purpose during subsequent conflicts all over the world. Carroll illustrates this familiar aspect of the story with unusual shots of the Jeep at war in the Pacific, Britain, mainland Europe and the Far East. He also shows how, after World War II, the Jeep continued as a functional, go-anywhere vehicle for farmers, ranchers and any individual or organization who lived or worked off the beaten track.
