While still at RAND, he earned a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard (1962), and an article presenting his thesis, Risk, Ambiguity, and Decision, became a frequently cited work in the field of game theory.
His books include Papers on the War (1972), Risk, Ambiguity, and Decision (an expanded treatment of his Ph.D. thesis; 2001), and Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers (2002).
