This slim biography is in a series from LifeCaps that looks at "lesser known or sometimes forgotten lives". After the recent Turing Year and the forthcoming biopic, the assertion that "few people knew about one of the greatest heroes of the war—a mild-mannered, eccentric mathematician from the University of Cambridge" may be mistaken. Intended primarily as an e-book it's also available as print on demand.
