Meet Alan Turing’s nephew, author of Enigma Traitors: The Struggle to Lose the Cipher War
May 02, 2025. 6:30 p.m.
Join Spy Museum Honorary Board Member Dermot Turing as he reveals a very different perspective on the Enigma story. Building on decades of research and his unique position as Alan Turing’s nephew, Turing has recently written Enigma Traitors: The Struggle to Lose the Cipher War.
In this evening’s talk, Turing will explore the obstinacy, overconfidence, and ostrich-like behavior on both sides and why he believes this made the codebreakers’ contest a race to fail first! Turing will pull back the veil on the treachery, betrayal, and deception of the Enigma traitors and shed light on the people who fought behind the scenes for cipher security.
