Biographical note:
Graham Scott has experienced and written about many forms of transport, from 180mph motorbikes on the racetrack to Land Cruisers in the Sahara, from 130mph powerboats in the Mediterranean to a camel plod in the Gobi Desert. Despite traveling the planet, often to remote parts of every continent, he has never been anywhere where a Jeep (or a Seep) has not previously been. He has written numerous magazine features and books, including Essential Military Jeep.
Main description:

There are 11 wartime Jeep variants covered – Bantam BRC-40, Budd Pygmy, Willys MA, Ford GP, Willys MB, Willys MB of the Long-Range Desert Group, Ford GPW, Ford GPA or 'Seep', 6x6 MT-TUG, T28 Half-Track and the heavily armed SAS Willys MB. Each model's section opens with a brief text introduction followed by specially commissioned color photographs with fascinating and detailed captions.
