The ghost ships of Archangel : the Arctic voyage that defied the Nazis / by Geroux, William,author.(CARDINAL)413169;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-326) and index.Prologue. The spinning needle -- The enemy of my enemy -- Hellish green -- Knight's move -- First blood -- Fireworks -- Scattered -- Into the ice -- Novaya Zemlya -- "We three ghosts" -- Arkhangelsk -- The knife-edge -- Reindeer games -- Reckoning."On the fourth of July, 1942, four Allied ships traversing the Arctic separated from their decimated convoy to head further north into the ice field of the North Pole, seeking safety from Nazi bombers and U-boats in the perilous white maze of ice floes, growlers, and giant bergs.

All the while, The Ghost Ships of Archangel turns its focus on Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin, playing diplomatic games that put their ships in peril. The twenty-four-hour Arctic daylight in midsummer gave no respite from bombers, and the Germans wielded the terrifying battleship Tirpitz, nicknamed The Big Bad Wolf. Icebergs were as dangerous as Nazis. As a newly forged alliance was close to dissolving and the remnants of Convoy PQ-17 tried to slip through the Arctic in one piece, the fate of the world hung in the balance"--
