TL;DR: The second edition of the Essence of Decision as discussed by the authors was published in 2003 and is 78 pages longer than the original and is illustrated with up-to-date examples from the Clinton and Bush administrations.
Abstract: blockbuster. In the first 16 years (for which figures are available), more than 70,000 copies of Essence of Decision were sold; by its 25th anniversary, more than 1,600 journal articles referenced in the Social Science Citations Index had cited the work. It was a staple on the reading lists. As controversial as it was famous, critiquing Essence of Decision became a cottage industry. In the recent publication of the second edition of Essence of Decision, Allison is joined by co-author Philip Zelikow, director of the Miller Center for Public Affairs at the University of Virginia, former Bush administration official, and Allison's former Harvard colleague. The second edition is as fascinating and as frustrating as the original, and surely will remain in the canon of political science. It is 78 pages longer than the original and is illustrated with up-to-date examples from the Clinton and Bush administrations. The authors meticulously use newly available historic materials on the case, and the theory chapters draw from more recent academic scholarship.

TL;DR: The methodology presented in this paper is applied to the gain scheduling of a missile autopilot and is to bypass most difficulties associated with more classical schemes such as gain-interpolation or gain-scheduling techniques.
