Provides an analytic treatment of strategy in the race for the US presidency, from the primaries to the general election. Using modern game theory and decision theory, this book demonstrates why certain campaign strategies are more effective than others.

The Presidential Election Game may change the way you think about presidential elections and, for that matter, American politics in general. It is not filled with statistics about the voting behavior of citizens, nor does it give detailed histories of past campaigns. Rather, it is an analytic treatment of strategy in the race for the presidency, from the primaries to the general election. Using modern game theory and decision theory, Brams demonstrates why certain campaign strategies are more effective than others and supports his analysis with historical evidence.
