The Art of Strategy by Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff
http://www.artofstrategy.info/
Possibly not the average book for this challenge, but I got the lead from the Freakinomics blog.
John Nash of The Beautiful Mind is probably the best known mathematician who worked on game strategy, but it's beyond one man's work. The Art of Strategy gives the clueless (such as myself) some clear examples of various theories and then gives a more in-depth explanation. I find the writing clear and informative, even if the math is far over my head. I've enjoyed it tremendously.
