Games of Strategy : Theory and Applications

"Games of Strategy: Theory and Applications", originally published by Prentice Hall in 1961, was written by Melvin Dresher, a RAND research mathematician, during the heyday of Game Theory at RAND. This book introduced readers to the basic concepts of game theory and its applications for military, economic, and political problems, as well as its usefulness in decision-making in business, operations research, and behavioural science. More than forty years after its first publication as a RAND research study, and to celebrate RAND's 60th Anniversary, RAND brings this classic work back into print in paperback and digital formats.
