MAD question

Does anyone know a good, authoritative account of von Neumann's role in the development of the idea of mutually assured destruction? I can google - just curious if anyone is personally aware of one they got a lot out of.

  1. I believe that Herman Kahn (of the RAND Corporation) may be interesting to look at for his contributions to MAD using game theory.

  2. There is a brief, thorough discussion of von Neumann in the biography of John Nash.
