International Applications of U.S. Income Tax Law is an excellent addition to the international taxation literature. The book deals with an extremely important and complex area, and does an excellent job of making it understandable. Larkins provides an overview of the issues, a discussion of inbound and outbound transactions, and a discussion of major areas of concern in international taxation. The book also provides numerous tax planning and tax policy perspectives. International Applications of U.S. Income Tax Law is unique from other books in this area because it contains numerous examples, marginal tax rate analysis when applicable, and links to empirical studies involving issues in international taxation. It is an excellent text but also an excellent reference book. (Arthur Andersen Alumni Professor of Accountancy, Miami University)
