This is an excellent book on history of international harvester and Frank G. Hough construction equipment companies. It describes the creation and merger of these companies and their subsequent success and failures of their products. I enjoyed reading construction machinery books that are not afraid to describe in detail why a particular piece of equipment failed in the field due to some type of design flaw.This author did not disappoint me in that area.As always plenty of neat photos of brand new equipment right out of the factory and also in use at job sites past to present.Only minor gripe I have is the dedication page credits some of the authors machinery photos that are nowhere to be found.This seems trivial but seems to be a trend as another earthmover book like PayLine: International Harvester's Construction Equipment Division
