HomeMilitary Jeeps in the Congo
 

Military historian Leif Hellström in Sweden has compiled a detailed and authoritative account of the use of Jeeps in the Congo conflict of the early 1960s. This complex and brutal war was unusual in a number of ways, including the fact that all sides in the conflict (including United Nations peacekeepers who became directly involved in the fighting) made use of interesting and varied collections of Jeeps. This 18-part series draws on information and photos collected by Leif over decades, and is the largest research project published to date on CJ3B.info. -- Derek Redmond
