Reviews

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
