Description
Japan from Alaska'. Harrison's "Japan from Alaska" argues that the northern Pacific was not a remote flank but a direct approach to Japan. By curving Alaska, the Aleutians, Kamchatka, the Kuriles and Hokkaido into one visual corridor, Harrison shows how the route from North America cuts into the heart of the Japanese Empire. The recent fight for Attu and Kiska made this geography immediate. Alaska becomes an offensive platform, not an outpost; Japan appears exposed from the air-age north, where conventional Pacific maps had suggested only distance and emptiness. by Harrison, Richard Edes.
