The Story of the Jeep tells how the vehicle began as a military truck in World War II, then was changed for everyday use after the war. It shows how the Jeep was built, why it works well on rough ground, and how it later became a common vehicle with models like the CJ, Wagoneer, and Cherokee. The book also contains pictures and easy facts about the many Jeep models made over the years, describing their uses in both military and civilian life.
