Japan from the Solomons'. Harrison's "Japan from the Solomons" looks toward Japan from the hard-won Southwest Pacific. The perspective makes clear why the Solomons, New Guinea, the Carolines, Marshalls, Marianas and Truk mattered: they were not isolated island names but links in Japan’s outer defensive system and in the Allied line of advance. Harrison also emphasizes the sobering distances involved; Japan still lies on the far horizon. Reissued in the atlas as American forces pushed toward the Marianas, the map clarifies the logic of island-hopping: each captured base shortened the ocean. by Harrison, Richard Edes.
