If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be: “indulgent”. The author has obviously spent a lot of time researching many facets of Alan Turing’s life and work.

Alan Turing: The Enigma () is a biography of the British mathematician, codebreaker, and early computer scientist, Alan Turing () by Andrew www.doorway.ru book covers Alan Turing's life and work. The film The Imitation Game is loosely based on the book, with dramatization. Andrew Hodges, Douglas R. Hofstadter (Foreword) 11, ratings reviews. Alan Turing () was a British mathematician who made history. His breaking of the German U-boat Enigma cipher in World War II ensured Allied-American control of the Atlantic. But Turing's vision went far beyond the desperate wartime struggle. It is a pleasure to see that the wonderful biography of Alan Turing by Andrew Hodges is once again available. With loving care, Hodges follows Turing's life from the clumsy child whose largely absentee parents were caught up in maintaining the British imperial presence in India, to the mathematically precocious adolescent facing teachers for whom mathematics imparted a bad smell to a room.
"If [The Imitation Game] does nothing else but send you, as it did me, to Alan Hodges's Alan Turing: The Enigma (, newly prefaced in the Princeton University Press edition) it more than justifies its existence. A great read, Hodges's intellectual biography depicts Turing as a brilliant mathematician; a crucial pioneering figure in the theorization and engineering of digital computing; and the biggest brain in Bletchley Park's Hut #8.". by Graham Lea.
