Thomas C Schelling

Originally published more than fifty years ago, this landmark audiobook explores the ways in which military capabilities, real or imagined, are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. Anne-Marie Slaughter's new introduction to the work shows how Schelling's framework, conceived of in a time of superpowers and mutually assured destruction, still applies to our multipolar world, where wars are fought as much online as on the ground.
