Arctic Convoys, 1941-45 by Richard Woodman
This is an account of the Arctic convoys, which, for the last four years of the war, supplied arms and ammunition to Soviet Russia. These supplies were essential to the Russian war effort, and the Allies' merchant ships ran the gauntlet of the Barent Sea, outflanked by the German bases in Norway.
'Woodman explains how it was done and why, according to him, it was so necessary' -- The Good Book Guide 20050101
