Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into his 42 years
the careers of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and
biologist. He is widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated
by his unappreciative country, and it has become hard to
disentangle the real man from the story. Now Dermot Turing has
taken a fresh look at the influences on his uncle's life and
creativity, and the creation of a legend. He discloses the real
character behind the cipher-text, answering questions that help the
man emerge from his legacy: how did Alan's childhood experiences
influence him? How did his creative ideas evolve? Was he really a
solitary genius? What was his wartime work after 1942, and what of
the Enigma story? What is the truth about the conviction for gross
indecency, and did he commit suicide? In Alan Turing Decoded,
Dermot's vibrant and entertaining approach to the life and work of
a true genius makes this a fascinating and authoritative read.
