4.0 out of 5 stars International Taxation, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: International Taxation : In a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (4th Ed) (Paperback)

Doernberg provides a helpful overview of the important topics most relevant in International Taxation. This summary will be a useful guide for students, practitioners and anyone else interested in the U.S. tax issues relevant in international business. While short by design, this book contains a surprising amount of information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for laymen, indeed, February 20, 2007

This review is from: International Taxation in a Nutshell, (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)

Disregard reviews criticizing the technical nature of this book. I became a fond user of the Nutshell series when I was in law school; I don't think that these books were ever intended for use by the Average Joe. By its very nature, the subject matter is technical and can only be simplified so much. There is a reason why there is no such book as "International Taxation for Dummies" or "Brain Surgery for Dummies".

These books are great to use as a springboard for further research and study of the issues covered. I would recommend the book to students and practitioners of accounting, business, and taxation.

The International Tax Nutshell is a wonderful overview of international tax. As some comments have indicated, it is a tough area, but Doernberg does a great job of guiding people through the various twists and turns.
