Review

The incredible story of the legendary Scout is covered in impeccable detail, punctuated with scores of fascinating photos and a wealth of detailed tech information. –Jalopnik

Finally, the definitive book on the development, execution, and demise of the incredible Scout. –Rick Pewé, Publisher/Editor, TEN Magazines

From the early concepts in 1958 up through the plans for what was being planned into the mid-1980s, this book answers many questions about what actually happened and should help put to rest some of the urban legends that have grown up about the Scout. –Howard Pletcher, IH/Navistar Product Reliability, Retired

About the Author

Jim Allen has been a soldier, a sailor, an auto technician, an off-road driving instructor, a farmer and a writer/photographer. Some of those things all at once. For the past 24 years, he has been writing for magazines and writing books. This will be book 12, if you count second editions. Jim thought he knew a fair bit about Scouts when he started this project but soon learned differently and happily trudged up the Scout history learning curve.
