As the Soviet Union played its role in the conflict, Ally convoys from Britain, the United States, and Iceland fought to deliver essential supplies to Russia. In a clash of extreme elements--as well as fierce Axis opposition--the effort demonstrated an unparalleled commitment from Allied nations to supporting the Soviet Union. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis story follows not just the American and British navies and its successful efforts to shepherd ships through storms and past floating icebergs. It also tells a part of history that has never been properly understood by the reading public. This involves the forgotten heroes of the Arctic convoys: the officers, armed guards, and the ordinary civilian seamen, mostly from Britain and America--but also from Holland, Norway, Russia and Poland--condemned to carry on steaming their ships slowly through the icy waters to Russia, even though they knew that at any moment they might be sunk. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBattle of the Arctic\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling, revelatory historical narrative that will leave you thankful to be on dry ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugh Sebag-Montefiore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639369015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639369010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pegasus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.97lbs","brand":"Hugh Sebag-Montefiore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46962178162943,"sku":"9781639369010","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4567bc4-8f6e-4607-9eae-8b84493ca743.jpg?v=1750649560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/battle-of-the-arctic-hugh-sebag-montefiore-9781639369010","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
