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.

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.

This is a must-buy for law students taking a class in international tax. Or if you're a lawyer and want to learn the stuff on your own.

But I can see how a layman hoping to figure out how to fill out a tax return would think the book to be useless.

Covers all the important details of international tax law in a concise, easy to understand format. Highly recommended!

After reading the Nutshell, International Tax law makes sense now. I was so lost in Int'l Tax class before, I am glad I got this study guide.

This is a good book for international taxation learning. However, I wish it could include more examples. So it could be more understandable.

I have consistently purchased this product over the last 10 years as new versions are released. It is an outstanding resource for getting the quick overview of common tax considerations and consequences of doing business abroad. If I were to be limited to only one reference guide for these matters, this book would be the one.

It a good book in terms of what to spect from a "in a nut shell" book, but the topic is reeaaally boring.

Too technical for somebody just wanting to get an idea of this subject.

This would probably be a great book for a law student, but not for a lay person. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent, but I had a bit of difficulty wading through this to find the little bit of info that I needed. I'm sure it's also a great book for someone with a tax background.
