A red line defines what the editors called the minimum defensible “Zone I”, carrying America’s strategic frontier far beyond the continental boundary across the Pacific and Atlantic, around Greenland and through Central America; Hawaii appears only as tiny “bumps on the horizon”. Harrison turns oceans, polar ice and equatorial mountains into the country’s effective defensive perimeter and exposes the inadequacy of isolationist geography in the new air age. Executed from photographs of William Briesemeister’s five-foot relief globe, it is an important and visually compelling example of Harrison’s persuasive cartography.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723298726235,"sku":"P-8-007005","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007005a.jpg?v=1785944817","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/strategic-frontiers-of-the-u-s-ww2-persuasive-map-richard-edes-harrison-1940-p-8-007005","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
