From its introduction in 2007, the International Harvester Navistar
MaxxPro evolved to meet the demands of U.S. military personnel in
defeating the effects of improvised explosive devices on vehicles
in the theaters of operation in Iraq and Afghanistan. By 2015,
nearly 9,000 MaxxPro MRAP variants had been in service with 16
nations in addition to the United States.
Based on the sturdy and reliable line of International Harvester
commercial trucks, the MaxxPro MRAP variants would grow to
encompass the M1224; M1224A1; M1234; M1235 and the massive M1249
wrecker. Noted military vehicle experts John Adams-Graf and David
Doyle tackle this subject like never before. Tracing the origins of
the MaxxPro from its conception in 2006 and throughout its varied
career in all combat theaters, this is a Visual History title like
no other. Drawing on official documents and Defense Department
imagery every facet of the vehicle’s development and deployment are
covered. Each of the full-page color photographs is more stunning
than the next. Arranged chronologically, the coverage depicts Iraq
and Afghanistan zones, as well as training areas and finally the
redeployment of the MaxxPro family in the hands of Iraqi and
Afghani national troops. This coverage is also supplemented with
detailed walk around images of the M1224 and M1249 wrecker. All in
all, a title not to be missed by the modern vehicle enthusiast and
an indispensable reference for anyone owning the Kinetic,
Trumpeter, or Bronco scale model kits.
