Southeast to Asia'. This atlas version of Harrison's map originally published in February 1942 as "Southeast to Armageddon" views the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean from above Hitler's Alpine retreat, recasting the region as the gateway of a failed Axis design. Its relief and key to railways, highways, pipelines and oilfields explain why Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and India mattered: they offered oil, communications and the imagined junction of German and Japanese power. Harrison credits Britain's "experienced geographical sense" in committing scarce military resources to the region early in the war. By June 1944, Stalingrad, El Alamein, the occupation of Iran and Allied landings in North Africa had transformed this threatened corridor into a base for Allied offensives. by Harrison, Richard Edes.
