This is the compelling story of the most exciting and decisive
battles fought under harsh Arctic conditions during the Second
World War. Each battle is described in detail, with discussions of
the various weapons and strategies that led to victory or defeat,
and an analysis of how the battle affected the overall course of
the war. The failure of early attempts to supply the Soviets with
vital mat DEGREESD'eriel would eventually give rise to tensions
among the Allies that would continue long after the end of the war,
and would ultimately lead to the Cold War. Despite the fears of
many men on both sides that they were being sacrificed for
political expediency, their brave and heroic actions became an
integral part of the war effort for each coalition.
The Arctic was a difficult and costly theater where battle was
often characterized by massive convoys and lurking U-Boats. Some of
the worst weather in history hit the Arctic in the midst of the
war, making the elements as tough an opponent as any human enemy.
The enormous scope of the war, combined with political and economic
limitations to restrict the available resources of both sides.
Evans's access to recently declassified documents and his use of
the personal accounts and reflections of the men who fought there
sheds an entirely new light on this often-neglected theater.
