About This Item
New Haven and London: Yale University Press. 1966. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with titles blocked in black to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and tight with some bumping at the head of the spine, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with signs of a pencilled inscription erased from the top of the front endpaper, are otherwise clean and bright throughout. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has a small patch of fading at the base of the spine and is otherwise bright and without loss or tears. Not price-clipped ($7.50 to the upper and 56s net to the lower front flap). An excellent example of the American professor and economist's profound and influential analysis of the impact of nuclear weapons on diplomacy and international relations. Addressing the concept of deterrence, Schelling considers the ways in which military capabilitiesreal or imaginedare used as bargaining power. The author was joint recipient of 2005 Nobel Prize in Economics (shared with Robert Aumann) for "having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis".
