This event has now been CANCELLED:

The Open University is pleased to support the event 'Sir Dermot Turing, The Real Story of How Enigma Was Broken', at AyeWrite!, Glasgow's Book Festival. 

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, written by Sir Dermot Turing, the nephew of Alan Turing: 

In 1932 a French spymaster photographs 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. Ten years later, the code-breakers have risked their lives to continue their work and are on the ruin from the Gestapo. 

This event will be chaired by Daniel Gray.

Tickets are £10.00 plus booking fees, available on the AyeWrite! website.

There is a range of free learning in relation to Alan Turing's discoveries, on the OU's free learning site, OpenLearn: www.open.edu/openlearn/tags/alan-turing

On the OU's UK campus in Milton Keynes there is a building named the Alan Turing Building, which is home to the central Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Faculty staff.
