Thorough May 30, 2007
Probably the best overall book on the subject. The photos, although some of poor quality, are worth the price of admission alone. If you are looking for an "encyclopedic" work on the subject of military vehicles, this is for you. Organized logically and its easy to find stuff.
An amazing collection of photos! January 30, 2007
I just recieved my copy this morning and was floored by the shear number of photos. Some of the subjects covered are incredibly obscure; from the overland train to the teracruzer. An absolutly huge book that is a great reference item. The one thing that sold me on this book was the fact that it actually includes fire apparatus, it's very rare to find any reference photos of military fire apparatus anywhere... My only complaint is that it stops in the '80s and there aren't any color photos except the front and back cover.

A Photo Dictionary of US Military Vehicles December 20, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Fred Crismon has accumulated an immense library of photographs, a chronicle of US military motor vehicles from 1900 to the 1980's, and he offers us about 400 of them in this volume. It covers hundreds of machines, some now totally obscure, and the book offers info on both military and civilian designs. It is divided up according to the number of axles, powered and unpowered, and each section is chronologically arranged. The book includes performance specifications and the general history of each design. For well-known types like the jeep, the book is less useful than specialty publications, but it excels in obscure types, particularly those serving wth the peacetime army. There are also sections devoted to specialty types like staff cars, ambulances, and wreckers. It is well worth tracking down.
