Traditionally, Americans have viewed war as an alternative to diplomacy, and military strategy as the science of victory. Today, however, in our world of nuclear weapons, military power is not so much exercised as threatened. It is, Mr. Schelling says, bargaining power, and the exploitation of this power, for good or evil, to preserve peace or to threaten war, is diplomacy—the diplomacy of violence. The author concentrates in this book on the way in which military capabilities—real or imagined—are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. He sees the steps taken by the U.S. during the Berlin and Cuban crises as not merely preparations for engagement, but as signals to an enemy, with reports from the adversary's own military intelligence as our most important diplomatic communications. Even the bombing of North Vietnam, Mr. Schelling points out, is as much coercive as tactical, aimed at decisions as much as bridges. He carries forward the analysis so brilliantly begun in his earlier The Strategy of Conflict (1960) and Strategy and Arms Control (with Morton Halperin, 1961), and makes a significant contribution to the growing literature on modern war and diplomacy. Stimson Lectures.Mr. Schelling is professor of economics at Harvard and acting director of Harvard's Center for International Affairs. "An exemplary text on the interplay of national purpose and military force."—Book Week. "A grim but carefully reasoned and coldly analytical book. . . . One of the most frightening previews which this reviewer has ever seen of the roads that lie just ahead in warfare."—Los Angeles Times. "A brilliant and hardheaded book. It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in the stereotypes and moral attitudinizing."—New York Times Book Review.

This is one of the few books I’d say are absolutely required reading for anyone interested and certainly working in foreign policy, and especially security issues. But I also think it would be helpful along with strategy and conflict for others in business and negotiations because a lot of its wisdom is applicable to other fields. The best description I ever heard of this book is every paragraph is worthy of a Phd dissertation topic.
Recently I ordered a chinese translation of this book from Mainland China, but it was translated according to the 1966 edition.This English edition has a new preface and afternoon by the author, thus updating the book. The book is still worth reading today, as North Korea has recently held a nuclear bomb test and it reminds us that nuclear threat is still with us. Mr. Schelling's analysis helps us to understand the delicate situation today.
Much of game theory is not intuitive, therefore this may be a difficult read. If one has taken mathematical proofs, first order logic, etc. one should garner a working understanding of the material.
