Published here for the first time, this volume presents a superb
range of insights into this crucial effort of the Second World War.
This Naval Staff History describes the vital role of the Arctic
Convoys, 1941-1945 and was first issued by the Historical Section
of the Admiralty as a confidential study for use within the Royal
Navy in 1954. It grew out of the earlier Battle Summary No. 22
compiled by Commander J. Owen of the Admiralty's Historical Section
and issued in 1943 to cover the convoys run to North Russia in the
last half of 1942 and early 1943. That wartime Battle Summary was
subsequently revised and expanded by Commander L.J. Pitcairn-Jones
to include all the main convoys run from August 1941 until the end
of the war using all the historical records which were at hand
after the war. A new preface provides additional context for the
convoys, highlighting support provided to Russian forces in their
struggle against Germany, for the original Staff History was
narrowly focused on the naval aspects of the Arctic Convoys to
Russia. This is an excellent resource for all students with a
particular interest in the Arctic Convoys, the Second World War and
in maritime and military history.
