For much of the conflict was complicated by terrific storms, snow, ice, fog, whales, and Arctic mirages, creating an atmosphere similar to Ernest Shackleton's \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e, David Crane's \u003cem\u003eScott of the Antarctic,\u003c\/em\u003e and an Arctic version of \u003cem\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe action unfolded as Allied naval and merchant seamen, airmen, submariners, and intelligence officers delivered on their countries' promise to take arms to Russia as the Germans hunted them in aircraft, U-boats, and surface fleet spearheaded by \u003cem\u003eTirpitz and Scharnhorst\u003c\/em\u003e. When ships were attacked, and went down in seas so cold that a man could die after five minutes of immersion, it triggered events reminiscent of the do-or-die moments during the sinking of the \u003cem\u003eTitanic\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMen perished one by one in lifeboats and, as castaways, they died on deserted Arctic islands where they were stalked by polar bears. Frostbitten and wounded survivors ended up in Russian hospitals so primitive that amputations were carried out without anesthetics. Other survivors, while stranded for months in the communist state they were aiding, experienced the murky worlds of the NKVD and the Gulag, as well as famine and prostitution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing new material unearthed in American, British, Russian, and German archives, as well as Polish, Dutch, Norwegian, and French sources and a remarkable collection of vivid witness accounts brought together at the passing of the last survivors, Hugh Sebag-Montefiore can at last tell this extraordinary story that oscillates between the sailors' point of view on the front lines and the controversies that infuriated world leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\" style=\"background-color: #edeae3;\"\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_1\"\u003e\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" class=\"accordion__summary\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title flex\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext\" style=\"line-height: 2.5rem;\"\u003eData om boken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 00.708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 000-.708z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Häftat band.\u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e Utg. 2025. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 800 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780008335786. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Sebag-Montefiore+Hugh\"\u003eSebag-Montefiore, Hugh\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Battle+of+the+Arctic\"\u003eBattle of the Arctic\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Harper+Collins+UK\"\u003eHarper Collins UK\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Historia+och+arkeologi\"\u003eHistoria och arkeologi\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 772939253\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBattle of the Arctic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e av \u003cstrong\u003eHugh Sebag-Montefiore\u003c\/strong\u003e hittar du under genren \u003cstrong\u003eEuropeisk historia \u0026amp; arkeologi\u003c\/strong\u003e inom \u003cstrong\u003eHistoria \u0026amp; arkeologi\u003c\/strong\u003e i kategorin \u003cstrong\u003eHumaniora\u003c\/strong\u003e.
