Humvee at War (The At War Series)

Michael Green, Greg Stewart

Zenith Press, 2005

I learned a few things, too.
This book has photos, data plates, and a usable index--but no bibliography. The latter is not important because there are many books on the HMMWV. I am an official HMMWV operator and this book is useful for describing the many variants of this tactical truck. I've ...

Every JEEP restorer needs a copy
This book will help the Jeep-fan to discover and know how the MB and GPW differed. It is full of useful text and graphics, that will make the reader a nearly-expert in those "beautiful" cars. I really enjoyed every page of it.

Michael Green

Nice pictures of military craftsmenship, not more
A nice (tiny) book with a few pictures of military dune buggies, with drivers. No technical information or drawings. I do not consider this book interesting. A good thing is the web sites mentioned in the book.

Hummer: How the Little Truck Company Hit the Big Time, Thanks to Saddam, Schwarzenegger, and GM

Martin Padgett Jr

Motorbooks, 2004

Incredible Writer
I fell in love with Marty Padgett's writing style in his reviews in "Stuff" magazine. Never before had I heard a yard gnome so lovingly referred to. I almost wept. Now he is taking that same passion and applying to Hummer's! A must read for any lover of a Hummer!
