Un livre inédit pour une histoire capitale. À mettre en les mains des membres du Com-Cyber! Capitaine (R) Christophe Soulard, Armée & Défense, Janvier-février-mars 2020

'Dermot Turing has written a great book filling out our picture of Second World War code-breaking. His prose crackles with energy and an appealing sense of humor, enhanced by dozens of photographs, many of which will be new even to devoted students of his subject.' Jonathan Beard, Michigan War Studies Review, November 2019

'Turing unearths a remarkable tale of intellect, bravery and camaraderie that reads like a nail-biting spy novel.' Joanne Baker, Nature, September 2018

'The anecdotes flow as Dermot warms to his theme. ‘Prof’ really is a cracking read and no engineer’s library is complete without it on their shelves.' Nick Smith, Engineering and Technology, November 2015

'For anyone seeking a more nuanced picture of the human side of Turing, however, this book makes a useful and sometimes poignant contribution.' Clare Mulley, History Today, February 2016

'Prof deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in the history of BP and in the development of the computer.' David Hamer, Cryptologia, November 2016

'He (Dermot Turing) has done a fabulous job of translating the complexities of mathematics and the early computer science to the lay person.' Walter Myer, La Jolla Light. November 2016

'Demystifying the Bombe meets all the requirements to be a souvenir of a visit to Bletchley Park, but it is much more than that. Anyone who wants to understand the British bombe should explore this brief book. It truly does demystify the bombe.' Chris Christensen, Cryptologia, 2016
