In service all around the world for decades, it remains--Iraq War controversies notwithstanding--the world standard in light military tactical vehicles. Gradually nearing the end of its frontline service, it has earned a place of honor beside the much-loved Jeep of World War II. This is a concise look at the background, development, and operational history of the Humvee from the 1970s to the present. The author brings a unique perspective and authority as a Bosnia veteran and former Humvee crewman with the United States Army's 1\/104th Cavalry. He was granted behind-the-scenes access to 1\/104th Cavalry HMMWVs and the Army's collection of rare vehicles at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Also included is the Humvee's service in lesser-known places such as Cold War Germany, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Korea, and Africa, as well as detail photos of the Humvee's features.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45034701127831,"sku":"9780764359569","price":1988.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780764359569.webp?v=1769210933","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/humvee-americas-military-workhorse-9780764359569","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
