| | | | | MOTORBOOKS BLOG | Author Patrick Foster opens Jeep: The History of America's Greatest Vehicle (due out in a few weeks, but you can preorder now!) with a dramatic story, illustrating the impact the vehicle could have in the field:
It was utter insanity, like being locked in a coffin: suffocating, dark, and hellish. It was the most frightening place on Earth. Lost in a dense green jungle so thick you could barely see 10 feet ahead, with bullets whizzing past, men getting hit, strange voices shouting, and shells exploding all around, it was the crazy, senseless madness of war in all its terrifying reality.
This was Guadalcanal, August 1942. |
| |  Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of summer vacation travel. And who doesn't remember a fun summer family road trip, kids piled in the back seat, watching the world go by and asking, "Are we there, yet?" If you're not able to take a trip down America's Main Street this summer - or even if you are - you can relive your childhood travel memories with the latest addition to our Route 66 collection: Postcards from Route 66.This massive collection of Route 66 memorabilia gathers together more than 400 of the finest examples of postcard art from Route 66's golden age: the 1930s through the mid-1960s, an era before long-distance car travel was largely supplanted by the airlines. Route 66 historian Joe Sonderman has curated the very best out of his 20,000-card archive to document a journey down the Mother Road through the decades, state-by-state from east to west. The book is a great complement to our definitive collection of Route 66 titles and is available now for just $22.50. Start your trip today. |
