'Three Approaches to the U.S. — Map 9 … From Berlin / Map 10 … From Tokyo / Map 11 … From Caracas'
Published more than a year before Pearl Harbor, Harrison’s celebrated sheet reverses the gaze of the preceding atlas maps and asks how the United States might appear to a potential attacker. Three compact colour perspectives present a German great-circle approach from Berlin over the Arctic and Canada; a Japanese route across the North Pacific towards Alaska and the Pacific Northwest; and a southern approach from Caracas through the West Indies towards the Panama Canal, Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard. Curved horizons, emphatic relief and concise strategic captions make continental isolation look dangerously deceptive. The concluding plate of “Atlas for the U.S. Citizen” is one of the best-known works of American anti-isolationist persuasive cartography from the opening phase of the Second World War.
