In 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union in the largest offensive
operation ever undertaken. Operation Barbarossa saw defeat after
defeat heaped on the Soviet army. With Russia's forces left
staggering under the strain and in desperate need of supplies,
Britain and the United States launched an ambitious operation to
resupply the Soviet Union using convoys sent through the Arctic.
Their journey was punctuated by torpedo attacks in freezing
conditions, Stuka dive bombers, naval gun fire, and weeks of total
darkness in the Arctic winter, with ships disappearing below the
waves weighed down by the ice and snow on their decks. Drawing on
hundreds of oral histories from eyewitnesses and veterans of the
convoys, plus original research into the Russian Navy archives at
Murmansk, historian Michael G. Walling offers a fresh retelling of
one of World War II's pivotal yet largely overlooked campaigns.
