This book set me up very nicely for a career in forex markets. Possibly the gentlest introduction to international finance, the book does not waste any time with implementation of the ideas, instead provides you with the requisite knowledge, and illustrative examples. I had the fortune of being taught the subject by the author (Dr. Eun), and so the book was fully utilized. However, other teachers would also find the book an ideal companion to course notes. In fact, the book is so well written, it seems like a tutorial. You cannot go wrong if you are using it for international finance courses. The book will also help you with preparation for the CFA charter examinations.

This book has three major strengths compared to other textbooks in this field. #1: It is soundly based on FINANCE theories. Most other textbooks on international finance have more of an "international BUSINESS" taste. #2: It is more analytical than most others. #3: It is comprehensive yet very concise. This is a must-read in the field of international finance. It is particularly suitable for senior-level finance undergraduate and MBA students as well as finance professionals with an interest in investments.

This book is a required text for my International Financial Management class in my MBA study. It has good coverage, clear explanations of sophisticated concepts and models, and good organization of contents, an definitely excellent MBA-level text. It also includes some CFA level II problems at the end of some chapters.

Please note that this book is only suitable for those who are already familiar with Corporate Finance and Economics. Without such preliminary knowledge in mind, one may find it difficult to follow.

I read this book almost page by page during my class, which helped me understand the class's lecture notes. There are not many good texts on International Finance out there, this's a good one, especially good for serious study. And I know it was also used in Wharton School as the textbook for International Corporate Finance.

The 5th edition, while published in 2009, still has problems referring to trades in 1987 in the current tense and tables from 1990 IMF reports. They discuss Deutschmark and Dutch guilder transactions as if they still exist. They have mutual fund graphs with 1977-1986 data. The power point slides have errors that do not tie to the examples from the text. The authors need to pay closer attention to updating, or hire someone else to do it for them. For a student, a lot of information needs updating. For an international finance instructor, there are better text choices elsewhere.

Book came as described, in new condition and in a timely manner. the actual book itself is not the most well written textbook but it gets the point across.

The approach this book has on the International Finance topic is good. Some chapters have more theory than others which might be confusing for someone without a business background. However, the examples provided are excellent.

The book was in great condition and it was shipped less than a day after placing my order....fantastic service :)

This book was in good to great quality. In terms of the texttbook's contents; I couldn't have asked for a better resource to prepare me for a career in international financial management.

This is the most disgusting book I have ever read.
This not actually a textbook, but a bunch of statistical data. Authors even do not try to teach you, what they try is to make you familiar with techniques and tools used in the world. Yes, they do provide you with some simple examples, but do not teach you how to apply. They try to be concise, instead of being concise, they just ommit a lot of information and provide book references for you to search on your own.

If you want to get familiar with the most modern financial tools, you can buy it, but if your goal is to learn, get a profound understanding of concepts, train yourself, then look for another option.

The authors, from my point of view, just scholars, who do know a lot, but unfortunately, cannot teach and explain.

The book lacks exercises. There are some, but do not pretend to master swaps or hedging doing them. Book is just a statistical summary on current situation in financial markets, some theories, which of little value for a real job and that is all.

Do not pay for it, unless you are Warren Buffet. :))

The book was received on time and I cannot tell that the book has been used before. It's in very good condition.
