Michael Wainwright's impressive and ambitious study offers a persuasive re-reading of the political and cultural fabric of the early Cold War years in the United States. In bringing a new and sophisticated understanding of game theory to literary studies, this book is a timely refocusing of critical attention upon the patterns of rational decision-making in fictional representations of personal and societal conflict. - Brian Baker, Senior Lecturer in English, Lancaster University, UK, and author of Contemporary Masculinities in Fiction, Film and Television
