DeJohn","description":"Since the mid-1980s, the American High Mobility Military Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV,?or Humvee)?has become synonymous with the US military.? 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294851150197,"sku":"9780764359569","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780764359569.jpg?v=1762766239","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780764359569","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
