Summary

A series of closely interrelated essays on game theory, this book deals with an area in which progress has been least satisfactory - the situations where there is a common interest as well as conflict between adversaries: negotiations, war and threats of war, criminal deterrence, extortion, tacit bargaining. It proposes enlightening similarities between, for instance, maneuvering in limited war and in a traffic jam; deterring the Russians and one's own children; the modern strategy of terror and the ancient institution of hostages.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Nice book, but will question the audio version

Great book ,but very hard to understand some of the charts specific data ..
I guess the paper back will be better suited
