"It is the discussion of [Fermat’s Last Theorem], I think, that sets this book apart from others ― there are a number of other texts that introduce algebraic number theory, but I don’t know of any others that combine that material with the kind of detailed exposition of FLT that is found here...To summarize and conclude: this is an interesting and attractive book. It would make an attractive text for an early graduate course on algebraic number theory, as well as a nice source of information for people interested in FLT, and especially its connections with algebraic numbers."

Praise for Previous Editions
"The book remains, as before, an extremely attractive introduction to algebraic number theory from the ideal-theoretic perspective."
