Until the last few years of the 20th century hardly anyone had heard of him or his achievements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e All that changed when the British government permitted the story of Bletchley Park during the Second World War to emerge.We learnt that Alan Turing had had a pivotal role in breaking the Enigma cipher, used by German forces.This was so significant that it helped to shorten the length of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into a life of only 42 years other careers besides secret codebreaker: he was also a mathematician, computer scientist and biologist. For example, with Tommy Flowers he built the first computer. A man ahead of his time, many of his theories and calculations are still relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this guide to a truly remarkable life, recent research by Alan Turing's nephew, Dermot, has unearthed a fresh perspective and made entirely accessible this story to the modern reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45796780212464,"sku":"9781841658773","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9781841658773.jpg?v=1713556006","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.pro\/products\/9781841658773","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
