Product Description

Product Description

Published here for the first time, this volume presents a superb range of insights into this crucial effort of the Second World War.



From the Back Cover

This volume, written in the 1950s by a historian on the Naval Staff, provides a detailed operational history of the momentous series of Arctic Convoys to Russia during the Second World War. This is a facsimile reproduction of the Naval Staff History volume, which was originally issued by the Admiralty in 1954 as a confidential book for use within the Royal Navy. It has since been declassified and is published here for the first time. The book describes the arduous convoy operations in Arctic waters to the north of Norway, in support of Russia. The convoys were started in August 1941, shortly after the German invasion of Russia, and ran almost continually until the end of the Second World War. Not only did these convoy have to operate in some of the most hostile environmental conditions in the world, but had to be fought through against determined attack by German surface, submarine and air units. Although casualties were proportionately higher than in Atlantic convoys, considerable quantities of war material were nevertheless supplied to the Soviet Union.

A new preface provides additional context for the convoys and, in particular, highlights support provided to Russian forces in their struggle against Germany.

This book will be of great interest for students interested in the Arctic Convoys, World War II and naval and military history.
