5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent piece of work!!, July 31, 2003

This review is from: International Taxation (Concepts and Insights Series) (Paperback)

I would definitely give this book its 5 deserved stars. I have a considerable collection of text books on the subject, and so far I have not read another so concise, easy to read and digest, entertained (the author constantly adds cracks to the story) and superbly written piece of work on US International Taxation. I definitely recommend this book regardless of whether you are in school or in practice. It comes short on very specific detail, but then again, there's when your larger books come in.

5.0 out of 5 stars International taxation made understandable, October 26, 2004

By 

Tax Lexa "taxlex" (Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: International Taxation (Concepts and Insights Series) (Paperback)

This book makes international taxation easy to understand.
It is a perfect beginner's book as it reveals the ideas behind otherwise incomprehensible laws.
For those who later on get lost in the maze you can always come back to the basics in this book.
I haven't seen any other writer explain the basics so well.
The only thing that I am disappointed with at this moment, October 2004, is that there is not an updated version available.
I would buy it the moment it comes out.
Also, I agree with one of the reviewers of this book that 4 years in the international taxation world is a very long time.
We now need more updated information on tax shelters in this book for one thing.
Mr. Isenbergh please update this book and publish it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Am International Tax book for the ages, November 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: International Taxation (Concepts and Insights Series) (Paperback)

Without this book, I would have dropped the exceedingly onerous, frighteningly incomprehensible International Tax course I took in my LL.M. program. Here is the map of the labyrinth, brought to you by Archangel Isenbergh. Folks, this is the real deal, the Revelation.

Buy it, study it, enjoy it, and then pass it on to your kids.
