The best introduction to game theory is still the The Strategy of
Conflict by Thomas Schelling. Although it contains no math and can be
read by non-economists, the papers in the Strategy of Conflict were
enormously influential among both game theorists and military
strategists. Game theory as it exists today owes more to the brilliant
insights of Schelling than it does to von Neumann and Morgenstern.
Schelling should win the Nobel prize.
Another good introduction, suitable for students and fun to read is
Dixit and Nalebuff's Thinking Strategically.
