The copy that I have is by J.D. Williams, subtitled: "Being a Primer
on the Theory of Games of Strategy."  This one is published by Dover,
ISBN 0-486-25101-2

Another book from Dover is Melvin Dresher's _The Mathmatics of Games
of Strategy, Theory and Applications_. (ISBN 0-486-64216-X).  It's a
lot "dryer" then the first book, but hey, they're inexpensive!
