William Poundstone's Prisoner's Dilemma :
William Poundstone's Prisoner's Dilemma is a philosophical
biography of the mathemetician, John von Neumann. Owing to
his history and circumstances, Von Neumann was a staunch
believer in the Nazi threat and, later, the threat of communism.
He believed that if using the hydrogen bomb would stop the
spread of those particular political regimes, then it should have
been used yesterday. He was a member of the team developing
the bomb at Los Alamos Labs in New Mexico and the 'think
tank' at the RAND Corporation. This 5 page paper examines
the life of John von Neumann, his development of game
theory, and the application of game theory to the Cold War.
