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.
