In this fascinating history of Cold War cartography, Timothy Barney considers maps as central to the articulation of ideological tensions between American national interests and international aspirations. Barney argues that the borders, scales, projections, and other conventions of maps prescribed and constrained the means by which foreign policy elites, popular audiences, and social activists navigated conflicts between North and South, East and West. Maps also influenced how identities were formed in a world both shrunk by advancing technologies and marked by expanding and shifting geopolitical alliances and fissures. Pointing to the necessity of how politics and values were "spatialized" in recent U.S. history, Barney argues that Cold War–era maps themselves had rhetorical lives that began with their conception and production and played out in their circulation within foreign policy circles and popular media. Reflecting on the ramifications of spatial power during the period, Mapping the Cold War ultimately demonstrates that even in the twenty-first century, American visions of the world--and the maps that account for them--are inescapably rooted in the anxieties of that earlier era.

During the early years of the Cold War, England and the United States both found themselves reassessing their relationship with their former ally the Soviet Union, and the status of their own “special relationship” was far from certain. As Jeffrey P. Stone argues, maps from British and American news journals from this period became a valuable tool for relating the new realities of the Cold War to millions of readers. These maps were vehicles for political ideology, revealing both obvious and subtle differences in how each country viewed global geopolitics at the onset of the Cold War. Richly illustrated with news maps, cartographic advertisements, and cartoons from the era, this book reveals the idiomatic political, cultural, and material differences contributing to these divergent cartographic visions of the Cold War world.

From 1950 to 1990, the Soviet Army conducted a global topographic mapping program, creating large-scale maps for much of the world that included a diversity of detail that would have supported a full range of military planning. For big cities like New York, DC, and London to towns like Pontiac, MI and Galveston, TX, the Soviets gathered enough information to create street-level maps. What they chose to include on these maps can seem obvious like locations of factories and ports, or more surprising, such as building heights, road widths, and bridge capacities. Some of the detail suggests early satellite technology, while other specifics, like detailed depictions of depths and channels around rivers and harbors, could only have been gained by actual Soviet feet on the ground. The Red Atlas includes over 350 extracts from these Cold War maps, exploring their provenance and cartographic techniques as well as what they can tell us about their makers and the Soviet initiatives that were going on all around us.

Merriam Press Military History MH1 First Edition (2014) This is a unit history of the 64th Topographic Engineer Battalion during the 1960s as it undertook its last mission before being deactivated at the beginning of the next decade. This may have been the last major traditional mapping mission undertaken by the U.S. Army and the Army Map Service in the 20th Century as advanced satellites became available and could do much of the work with more efficiency than the traditional survey battalion. Most of the work done was surveying to provide the data for the map makers back in the U.S. Before this could be done, the U.S. Air Force sent its special squadron to fly missions to create the aerial photograph needed to produce the maps and to aid the surveyors in their job. The soldier surveyors often moved into the field using old and inaccurate maps based on data from as far back as the time of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. Initially the battalion took over operations that had begun in Libya and it was here that some of the troops encountered minefields left over from World War II. From Libya elements of the battalion were sent to work in Iran with the Iranian Army. A reinforced company was sent to begin operations in Ethiopia early in the 1960s while another detachment worked in Liberia. Field parties, often supported by aircraft, crossed deserts, mountains, and jungles operating in areas that included everything from deadly snakes to lions, and an array of diseases. In some cases the survey teams had to operate in active war zones. In one case, a team was briefly taken prisoner. Many times these troops were far from their bases and in an emergency help was anywhere from hours to days away. This history only presents a very basic description of the type of survey activities carried out by the battalion to provide a background. Most of the text is devoted to a history of the unit and the experiences of veterans of this battalion including civilian members of the Army Map Service. Photos, maps

Since the end of the Cold War, America's national security establishment has been searching for a new operating theory to explain how this seemingly "chaotic" world actually works. Gone is the clash of blocs, but replaced by what? Thomas Barnett has the answers. A senior military analyst with the U.S. Naval War College, he has given a constant stream of briefings over the past few years, and particularly since 9/11, to the highest of high-level civilian and military policymakers-and now he gives it to you. The Pentagon's New Map is a cutting-edge approach to globalization that combines security, economic, political, and cultural factors to do no less than predict and explain the nature of war and peace in the twenty-first century. Building on the works of Friedman, Huntington, and Fukuyama, and then taking a leap beyond, Barnett crystallizes recent American military history and strategy, sets the parameters for where our forces will likely be headed in the future, outlines the unique role that America can and will play in establishing international stability-and provides much-needed hope at a crucial yet uncertain time in world history. For anyone seeking to understand the Iraqs, Afghanistans, and Liberias of the present and future, the intimate new links between foreign policy and national security, and the operational realities of the world as it exists today, The Pentagon's New Map is a template, a Rosetta stone. Agree with it, disagree with it, argue with it-there is no book more essential for 2004 and beyond.
