The ultimate book about the ultimate military vehicle. When it entered army service in 1985, AM General's high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle - better known as the Humvee - quickly assumed the status the World War II jeep enjoyed among an earlier generation of soldiers. Humvee at War showcases this iconic vehicle in the many roles and configurations it has taken on over the years - ambulance, troop transport, and armament carrier among them.

The writing is engaging. This is a very fine book for anyone with and interest in the HMMWV. The quality of the publishing, writing, and photography, along with the inclusion of an index make this a worthwhile addition to the advanced MV library."
