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.
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.
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.
I bought this for my LLM courses in international taxation. It is well written and it gives you a great view of the subject from 10,000 feet up. It would certainly help you get your head around some very complex law if you are totally lost. However, in my humble opinion, it is WAY too general to be of any use to any LLM student or practitioner.When it came time for studying for exams, I found the "In a Nutshell" book on the subject to be a much more useful study guide. Isenbergh's full-length treatise is great, but this study guide is too superficial.
This book provides a good overview of the area of International Taxation--but only an overview. It will not help you on detailed, complex issues in International Tax. However, using this book will help you understand the general framework for U.S. International Tax.I did not give this book 5 stars because it needs more examples. The examples and charts were the best thing about the book, but there were far too few of them.Given the dearth of comprehensible books in this area, I think this book is a great choice if you are looking for help in a class. Practicioners, however, will need more detail than this book will provide.
