Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter L. Bernstein

This book, which supposedly Clinton took on vacation, is a comprehensive story of the mathematics of probability and its application to politics, economics, markets, war, and other endeavors. Probably because I found the math to be a review of recently read math history, and economics held little interest, I found the book to be less interesting. However, I think it is well written and possibly very interesting to others.
