A review by cathyp72
Arctic Star by Tom Palmer

4.0

While I didn't enjoy this as much as After the War, it is another well researched and well written war story with great characters. Palmer manages to capture the sense of intense cold in the north Atlantic as well as the fear and danger experienced by those who took part in the Arctic convoys. One of the most powerful elements was in Russia, where one of the friends who has learned Russian and admires what he understands about their society faces the reality. Very accessible this is a really good read overall.
