Appleton overlays the country with army areas, industrial centres, airfields, oilfields, dams, troop concentrations and arrows showing supposed enemy movements. Published in Fortune’s September 1935 survey of the underfunded U.S. Army, the deliberately alarmist ‘Jingo’s View’ argued that ocean barriers were no substitute for military readiness. Its fears also expose the xenophobia of the period, including a baseless allegation that Japanese Americans in California maintained secret arms and drilled at night. A striking piece of American persuasive cartography, produced six years before Pearl Harbor.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53776275210587,"sku":"P-8-007028","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007028a.jpg?v=1786635314","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/the-great-invasion-of-19-a-jingo-s-view-appleton-fortune-persuasive-map-1935-p-8-007028","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
