Abstract
The problem of column accretion on to white dwarfs in the AM Her and DQ Her systems is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to recent progress in explaining the large soft X-ray — EUV fluxes observed in these systems in terms of nonlocal electron energy transport into the white dwarf photosphere.
