I received a copy of the Rifkind Report in the mail--it is a reprint of
the 1943 report regarding the procurement of the jeep. It appears to be
fairly scholarly, with good footnotes and appendicies.

Can anyone provide any additional background about this report? What is
the general overall belief regarding the accuracy of the information.
To me, it appears to be one of the most detailed accounts I've seen
about procurement of early jeeps. It has some good photos as well.

I received my copy through the Scholar's Bookshelf, it being the ISO
reprint from 1988. It is titles _Jeep Genesis: The Rifkind Report_ ISBN
0-946784-95-7. The book is $12.95 plus $4.50 S and H for a total of
$17.45. Their number is 609-395-6933.

Thanks in advance--Tim
