"The Strategy of Conflict" is an exploration of basic-ish game theory, with a focus on nonzero-sum games and frequent applications to the Cold War.

As somebody who thought he already knew basic-ish game theory quite well, I still found this book very well worth reading, thought-provoking and full of insights.

This meeting will cover Parts I and II ("Elements of the Theory of Strategy" and "A Reorientation of Game Theory"), the ~170 pages I found most insight-rich.
