The New York Council Navy League is pleased to host a virtual event with this year’s Commodore John Barry Book Award recipient, author William Geroux. The Council’s 2020 award for excellence in American Maritime Literature is going to Bill for his latest work, The Ghost Ships of Archangel: The Arctic Voyage That Defied the Nazis. This book tells an extraordinary story of survival and alliance during World War II as four Allied ships cross the Arctic to deliver much needed supplies to the Soviet port of Archangel.
