Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This set of 3 maps by Richard Edes Harrison appeared more than a year before Pearl Harbor, but at a time when Germany had captured most of Western Europe and the Battle of Britain had begun. Harrison presents three different vulnerabilities: to a German attack over the Pole, through Canada; to a Japanese attack from the Northern Pacific (the point from which the Pearl Harbor raid was launched); and to an attack on the East Coast from South America. In each case, his map looks down on the earth from a different point and direction. And by presenting the three views on a single page, Harrison powerfully conveys the scale of the nation's potential exposure.
