International tax makes sense now

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.

Must-buy for law students

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.

Extremely useful and informative

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

Wonderful overview of international tax

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.

Not for laymen, indeed

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.
