Book Overview

The code breaker that helped win the war

Hundreds of movies and thousands of books have been written about the heroes of World War II. For dozens of years, however, few people knew about one of the greatest heroes of the war-a mild-mannered, eccentric mathematician from the University of Cambridge.

This man, an undeniable genius whose later life was plagued by controversy and tragedy, probably played a greater role in the eventual Allied victory than anyone else. Until quite recently his contribution to the war effort was barely recognized.

Everyone's heard of Churchill, Eisenhower, Montgomery, Patton and even de Gaulle, but far fewer have ever heard of Alan Turing. This is his incredible story.

About Fergus Mason

Cary Abbott is a retired U.S. Marine Master Sergeant. He grew up traveling around the United States and in doing so developed a very active imagination. He dreamed of being a screenwriter but spent his non-dreaming time having adventures in the Corps with his friends, his wife and their three children. Cary has also worked as a background actor in several movie and TV shows and a security supervisor at celebrity events such as the Oscars, the Emmy's, Soul Train and MTV Award shows. He currently lives with his family in New York and is actively working on dream video recorder and on time traveling digital camera. Fergus Mason was born in southwest Scotland and went to university in Glasgow. After graduating he joined the British Army and served in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo and Iraq. Looking for something new after 14 years he somehow ended up in Afghanistan as a civilian contractor, which was pretty much like being in the Army but with better food. Finally he decided to become a freelance writer, as he has always enjoyed writing as a hobby. Fergus lives in Germany with an annoying cat.
