Code Name Delilah

Beschreibung

London at the Crossroads of WWII, aptly called the "Wizard War" Set in London during the early years of World War II, Code Name Delilah weaves a cast of fictional characters with very noteworthy historic figures to capture the events of 1939 through 1942, when an international coalition of nations supporting Great Britain began to pull together to defeat the Axis Powers. Carefully researched and historically grounded, Code Name Delilah relates some new insights and perspectives regarding that unprecedented rapid gathering of extraordinary people, massive industrial production facilities, widely diverse military forces, breathtaking scientific and technological advancements, critical military intelligence capabilities and Ultra Secret cyber security achievements, all of which coalesced in London. The novel elevates and honors contributions from well-known and lesser-known men and women who were tasked collectively with defeating the Axis Powers. This was a seemingly insurmountable assignment, but the escalating brutality, inhumanity and perfidy of the Axis Powers gave the Allies no other choice. Their ultimate total Victory was nonnegotiable.
