The Great War is an immense, confusing and overwhelming historical
conflict - the ideal case study for teaching game theory and
international relations. Using thirteen historical puzzles, from
the outbreak of the war and the stability of attrition, to
unrestricted submarine warfare and American entry into the war,
this book provides students with a rigorous yet accessible training
in game theory. Each chapter shows, through guided exercises, how
game theoretical models can explain otherwise challenging strategic
puzzles, shedding light on the role of individual leaders in world
politics, cooperation between coalitions partners, the
effectiveness of international law, the termination of conflict,
and the challenges of making peace. Its analytical history of World
War I also surveys cutting edge political science research on
international relations and the causes of war. Written by a leading
game theorist known for his expertise of the war, this textbook
includes useful student features such as chapter key terms,
contemporary maps, a timeline of events, a list of key characters
and additional end-of-chapter game-theoretic exercises.
