Beginning with the Jeep as a crucial component of the American World War II fleet, Foster expertly recounts the corporate shifts, financial struggles and successes, close calls, and—above all—the enduring machines that have carried Jeep from the early 1940s to its triumphant role as a modern-day embodiment of American perseverance.

Marty M.U.T.T. was once a mighty military jeep who carried soldiers around the country of Vietnam, but after all his hard work in the Army, he was banged up, dusty and broken. As happened with many other army jeeps, he was cut up and thrown aside to rust. Marty M.U.T.T. thought everyone had forgotten about him as he ended up alone in a cold, dark shed. He had tears coming from his headlights and was so sad that he couldn't even beep his horn! Find out what happens to Marty one ordinary day when someone rescued him. A delightful story of restoration that gives hope to young and old alike! The Little Jeep Who Couldn't Beep was inspired by the real-life story of Sgt. Stephen Williams who served in Vietnam in 1969-70. Note: Steve's memoir, Nine Pairs of Boots in Vietnam was published in November of 2020.
