A transport revolution swept across Iceland in the mid-twentieth century, when thousands of Willys jeeps arrived to take the place of the old military vehicles. Before long, Land Rovers and Russian-made jeeps were driving into every farmyard. Later came an even greater variety — the Gipsy, the Scout, the Bronco — and, eventually, a wide range of Japanese four-wheel drives. With power to all wheels, the jeep conquered rough terrain and mountain passes alike, bringing newfound freedom of travel in every season.
Jeppar í lífi þjóðar (Jeeps in the Life of a Nation) casts vivid light on this remarkable yet little-explored chapter of Iceland’s transportation history — told in words but, above all, through 600 unique photographs, many of which are published here for the first time. This is an essential book for car enthusiasts and for anyone who loves to travel across Iceland’s rugged landscape.
Örn Sigurðsson has received wide acclaim for his books on cars — eight in all — including the bestsellers Króm og hvítir hringir, Bílamenning and Bílar í lífi þjóðar.
