As something of a map junkie, and having more than a passing interest in the Cold War, I'm looking forward to a book about Soviet military mapping of the USA and UK to be published next year.

Several examples are included on the website and are of quite startling accuracy.

It makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

I've got a small cold war era Soviet atlas of the world. It's weird seeing your hometown written in Cyrillic.

It was easy for the commies to map the US, just buy detailed maps from a number of map companies, pick up maps at the gas station and subscribe to National Geographic. The phone book would give addresses of any government stuff, then a couple of Soviet diplomats or tourists could fact check and settle map conflicts.

No need to protect the real thing if we've got a perfectly good aquarium exhibit.
