During World War II, merchant marine tankers in convoys plied the frozen North Atlantic through the flaming wreckage of torpedoed ships. Working to keep sea lanes open, merchant seamen supplied food, fuel, and goods to the Allies. This book acknowledges that the merchant marines, all volunteers, are among the unsung heroes of the war.
