Drama in Arctic Waters

The sea route for essential supplies of British and American war materials for Russia was close around the northern coast of Norway - in German hands - to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and, in summer, Archangel and Molotovsk. Allied convoys were in range of German aircraft for almost the entire voyage, and the "Kriegsmarine" never far away. Bad enough, but worse was the Arctic Ocean. Fearsome seas, bitter winds, ice with everything and a cold to the limit of endurance were constant companions to the convoys.

Meticulously researched from original orders and reports, and including new Russian perspectives, this book is an authoritative history of the 1941 - 45 Arctic convoys, including the PQ17 diaster. It is also an enthralling narrative account of the drama of Allied convoy protection and warfare on some of the most dangerous seas in the world.
