'In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great
names in the history of his particular studies added his own.' So
is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century,
yet Alan Turing's name was not widely recognised until his
contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code became
public in the 1970s. The story of Turing's life fascinates and in
the years since his suicide, Turing's reputation has only grown, as
his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial
intelligence and computational biology have become better
appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing's birth, this
republication of his mother's biography is enriched by a new
foreword by Martin Davis and a never-before-published memoir by
Alan's older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the
original biography reveals tensions and sheds new light on Turing's
relationship with his family, and on the man himself.
