Hodges is best known as the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma, the story of the British computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing. Critically acclaimed at the time — Donald Michie in New Scientist called it ""marvellous and faithful"" — the book was chosen by Michael Holroyd as part of a list of 50 'essential' books (that were currently available in print) in The Guardian, 1 June Cited by: In , under Turing's guidance, Britain cracked the German's encryption code using the Enigma machine. It shortened the war and saved many, many lives, as did the atomic bomb in Had Turing not lived, the whole world would not be the same. We are far better off today because of www.doorway.ru by: Turing's rehabilitation from over a quarter-century's embarrassed silence was largely the result of Andrew Hodges's superb biography, Alan Turing: The enigma (; reissued with a new introduction in ). Hodges examined available primary sources and interviewed surviving witnesses to elucidate Turing's multiple dimensions.
"Andrew Hodges's biography is a meticulously researched and written account detailing every aspect of Turing's life This account of Turing's life is a definitive scholarly work, rich in primary source documentation and small-grained historical detail."

Hodges examined available primary sources and interviewed surviving witnesses to elucidate Turing's multiple dimensions. Book Overview. 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.
