Reviews 451 well as all other Arctic convoys during the war.Readers will also appreciate the author's efforts to reconstruct the war experiences of PQ18 convoy.From chapter to chapter, McKay demonstrates the decision to send the convoy, and its intent, the German reaction, the action of the combatants, and their feelings and emotions.If all this is not enough, the author even explains some technical details, such as the limitation of Asdic.All these elements join and ensure a reader will not become bored while reading the book.If there is anything in the book that may attract controversy, that might be the chapter titles.They are all named by dates, so the first chapter is "2-5 September 1942."However, considering the nature of the convoy and the actions taken during the journey by the 39 merchant vessels and their escorts, it makes sense
