Descripción editorial
He was the man who envisioned the future, a brilliant mathematician who laid the theoretical foundations for every computer in existence. At Bletchley Park, he became a secret hero, a codebreaking genius whose work was pivotal to the Allied victory in World War II.
Yet, the same society he helped save turned against him. After the war, his personal life became a target of persecution, leading to a devastating conviction and a tragic end. This book tells the full story of Alan Turing's life—from his foundational theories and wartime triumphs to the heartbreaking injustice he endured. It is a powerful and definitive account of an unsung hero who, in his short life, changed the world forever. Approx.150 pages, 29600 word count
