Road to Russia, The: Arctic Convoys 1942-45 by Bernard Edwards
Bernard Edwards, the formidable naval historian, has researched the fate of Convoys PQ13 and PQ17 bound from Iceland to Northern Russia as well as the westbound Convoy QP13. Attacked relentlessly by aircraft and U-boats, the former lost a total of thirty ships while QP13 ran into a British minefield off Iceland, losing seven vessels. The Road to Russia is an important addition to the bibliography of this bitterly fought campaign.
Captain Bernard Edwards spent 37 years at sea with the Merchant Navy commanding ships trading worldwide before retiring to pursue his second career as a Naval historian. His knowledge of the sea and ships has enabled him to write a series of internationally recognised works including Beware Raiders! (Pen & Sword), They Sank The Red Dragon, Attack and Sink and Salvo!
