Personally, I like the book for the examples. There are too many Game Theory books with a bias towards Economics, and that gets stale after a while. Instead of competing factories, this book on political game theory gives you interesting problems on competing interest groups, foreign policy, etc. It's a bit like mathematical Command & Conquer ;-) However, if you want to learn Game Theory in depth I would recommend other books. Read this book (or skim through it) after you have been acquainted with the mechanics of Game Theory and are looking for interesting toy examples to play with.
