Convoy PQ-17 1942 by Angus Konstam is a detailed and gripping account of one of the most tragic and costly convoy missions during World War II. The book focuses on the ill-fated PQ-17 convoy, which was tasked with delivering vital supplies from the United States to the Soviet Union in the summer of 1942, as part of the Allied efforts to support the USSR during its struggle against Nazi Germany. The convoy, consisting of merchant ships, was attacked by German forces throughout the perilous voyage through the Arctic Ocean, facing relentless Luftwaffe airstrikes, U-boat attacks, and surface vessel assaults.
