' --Nick Smith, \u003ci\u003eEngineering and Technology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into his 42 years the careers of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and biologist.\u003c\/b\u003e 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. It is easy to cast him as a misfit, the stereotypical professor. But actually Alan Turing was never a professor, and his nickname 'Prof' was given by his codebreaking friends at Bletchley Park. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow 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? \u003cb\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAlan Turing Decoded\u003c\/i\u003e, Dermot's vibrant and entertaining approach to the life and work of a true genius makes this a fascinating and authoritative read.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDermot Turing\u003c\/b\u003e had a career in the legal profession before turning to writing narrative history, and he has written \u003ci\u003eX, Y \u0026amp; Z\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eReflections of Alan Turing\u003c\/i\u003e.
