3.0 out of 5 stars rough seas, 22 Nov 2007
By Mb Davis "afc9871" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Arctic Convoys: 1941-1945 (Paperback)
This is a detailed and well researched look at the 2nd World War convoys to the Soviets.It is at its best when describing the attacks made on the convoys particularly the infamous PQ17.However the author,as a former sailor,decides to use seagoing phraseology which is difficult to understand.I think that if he was going to use the phraseology of the sea it would have been useful to include a glossary of terms.So at certain times this book can become hard going.

As Iwas on one of the ships doing the artic run the ship being H.M.S.Vindex an aircraft carrier and at that time Iwas only 17,it mentions duriing one of our trips, we did a thirty seven and a half degree roll during a storm a little further and I would not be sending this review

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, 21 Aug 2009
By Mr. Michael F. Kelly "capkelly" (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Arctic Convoys 1941-1945 (Paperback)

Very good account of the Arctic convoys with a good insight into both MN and Naval veiwpoints as well as the political pressures. Having read many accounts of individual actions in this theatre from varying points of veiw - this gives a balanced overveiw of the campaign. Well worth reading, certainly appealed to me as a retired seafarer
