The book by John Davies and Alexander Kent? It tells a bizarre story about how the Soviet Union spent decades making intricate and precise maps of the world using an alarmingly large network of spies on the ground. They’re some of the finest maps made during the 20th century and they’re also still very much illegal in Russia. It’s a story of espionage, Cold Warriors and the most literal illustration of the phrase “Knowledge is Power” that there ever has been. Now high quality reproductions of these maps are available in the United States exclusively through The Map Center. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIMPORTANT PURCHASING INSTRUCTIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/redatlasbook.com\/maps\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ethe Red Atlas’ catalog\u003c\/a\u003e and take note of the map number(s) of the maps you’d like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eWhen you have determined which maps you’d like, order Topographic or City Plan maps from this page as desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eSend an email \u003ca href=\"mailto:info@mapcenter.com\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003einfo@mapcenter.com\u003c\/a\u003e citing your order number and the map number(s) so I can get you exactly what you’re after. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTopographic\u003c\/strong\u003e maps are roughly 22”x22” and depict regions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCity Plans\u003c\/strong\u003e are closer to 35”x 50” and show more detail of streets and urban environments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes: All maps are reproduced at original scale- please don’t purchase a Topographic Map and then request a map number corresponding to a larger City Plan or visa versa!
