Dermot Turing

Sir John Dermot Turing, 12th Baronet (born 26 February 1961[1]) is a British solicitor and author.[2] Dermot Turing was educated at Sherborne School and King’s College, Cambridge. He then undertook a DPhil degree in genetics at New College, Oxford, before moving into the legal profession.[3] He first worked in the Department of the HM Treasury Solicitor. He then worked at the international law firm Clifford Chance, where he was a partner until 2014 and latterly a consultant.[4] He specialized in the financial sector, especially with respect to failed banks, regulation, and risk management. Turing is the nephew of Alan Turing (1912–1954).[2][5][6] In 2012, the centenary year of Alan Turing's birth, Dermot Turing became a trustee of Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing worked as a cryptologist during World War II.[3] In 2015 he wrote a book on Alan Turing, Prof: Alan Turing Decoded,[7] and in 2017 he contributed a chapter to The Turing Guide.[8] He is a member of the European Post-Trade Forum and a trustee of the Turing Trust. His interests also include cryptanalysis and naval history.[5] Dermot Turing has commented on the accuracy of the 2014 film The Imitation Game, a dramatization of Alan Turing's life.[9][10][11] In 2018 he published X Y & Z: The Real Story of How Enigma Was Broken.[12] Sir John Dermot Turing is the 12th Baronet in the Turing baronetcy.[1] He is the son of John Ferrier Turing and Beryl Mary Ada Hann. In 1986, he married Nicola Jane Simmonds, daughter of Malcolm Douglas Simmonds. In 1987, he succeeded his third cousin as the 12th Turing Baronet. He has two sons. (Bron: Wikipedia)

Samenvatting

December, 1932 In the bathroom of a Belgian hotel, a French spymaster photographs top-secret documents – the operating instructions of the cipher machine, Enigma. A few weeks later a mathematician in Warsaw begins to decipher the coded communications of the Third Reich and lays the foundations for the code-breaking operation at Bletchley Park. The co-operation between France, Britain and Poland is given the cover-name 'X, Y & Z'. December, 1942 It is the middle of World War Two. The Polish code-breakers have risked their lives to continue their work inside Vichy France, even as an uncertain future faces their homeland. Now they are on the run from the Gestapo. People who know the Enigma secret are not supposed to be in the combat zone, so MI6 devises a plan to exfiltrate them. If it goes wrong, if they are caught, the consequences could be catastrophic for the Allies. Based on original research and newly released documents, X, Y & Z is the exhilarating story of those who risked their lives to protect the greatest secret of World War Two.
