Pages 2–3: President Franklin Roosevelt consulting the massive globe
presented to him in 1942 by the US Army. The Army designed the globe
to rotate freely—without an axis—in order to facilitate strategic thinking
in an age of aviation. World War II prompted new and radically different
understandings of world geography, as shown in chapter 8.
