    He should have the highest commendations from the land for his work in WW2 which definately saved allied lives and shortened the war.
    He was awarded an OBE in 1945 by the way.

    The Enigma is great as well. I read it years and years ago. I studied computing in college so he came up every so often. Parts of The Enigma may be a little bit mathsy (if I remember correctly) although overall it's a great bio and most of it is very accessible. Maybe check out some reviews on Amazon or something and see what other readers thought. You certainly don't need a computer science degree to enjoy it!
