Testimonials and Reviews

WWII history comes alive in this book.  I was 12 years old and still remember exactly where I was when we heard that FDR had declared war after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. We were attending a wedding when the sad news was announced. I spent much of my early years living through World War II.

Set in London, England during this time, De Brier’s story accurately captures the tensions of looming world war in the 1940’s...Intrigue moves the story forward in page-turning anticipation.

A Compelling Read. An engaging innovative historical fiction providing the reader a unique view of the unfolding of early WW2. The venue is mainly London with a large cast of historical as well as fictional members. Code Name Delilah is a very enjoyable read.

A Surprising Take on WW2 History. A well researched and provocative look into the role of female agents in WW2. Donald’s passion for the era is inspiring - I look forward to reading his next novel!

Articulate and compelling and touching. A work of historical fiction that reads like a dramatic and engaging fictional novel, with interesting characters-- but is meticulously researched and historically accurate, fictional characters all woven together with real history, and real people. I learned a lot about the war---without trying to.

A terrific read! The MI6 intelligence agent known as Delilah and an American lawyer working in London for the OSS head a cleverly interwoven cast of international characters in this novelistic history of World War II in Europe. Donald de Brier's compelling story sweeps the reader from Top Secret meetings in Whitehall to the battlefields of North Africa, over the bombed-out cities of Germany, and onto the beaches of Normandy.

An excellent read! Both enlightening historically and refreshingly human. The author's creative approach to using the Delilah character to capture and portray the thickening of the plot is superb. I look forward to what comes next, assuming the author is following up on his ending statement “The end of the beginning…and to be continued.”
