Opis

Presents a range of insights into the crucial effort of the Second World War. This work describes the vital role of the Arctic Convoys, 1941-1945 and was issued by the Historical Section of the Admiralty as a confidential study for use within the Royal Navy in 1954. It is for students with an interest in the Arctic Convoys, and the World War II.

Recenzje

"In sum, this is a keeper. It remains the only comprehensive - albeit dated - monograph on the Arctic convoys, a primary source in its own right and an important addition to any library on the war at sea from 1939 to 1945. The beautifully reproduced colour charts of battles - bound into the text so they will not go adrift in a libary collection - alone almost justify the price.  The book is highly recommended." - Marc Milner, University of New Brunswick, International Journal of Maritime History
