Books on Second World War supply convoys

The reading suggestions cover armed merchant cruisers, sea power, and the wider military transportation system.

Question

Which books best cover supply convoys in the Second World War?

Short answer

The panel recommends Kenneth Poolman's armed-merchant-cruiser work and mentions Gorshkov's sea-power book, then shows a military transportation history whose title is unclear in the spoken exchange.

Notes

Kenneth Poolman's work on armed merchant cruisers is recommended, with a section on merchant aircraft carriers noted during the discussion. Gorshkov's sea-power work is also mentioned. A broader history of military transportation is then shown and described as covering Second World War supply convoys. Its title is not clear enough in the spoken exchange to identify confidently.
