West has announced the forthcoming publication of Primer on Direct Taxation in the European Union by Ruth Mason (NYU):

The Primer on EU Direct Tax Law covers all aspects of direct tax jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The first half of the book includes an introduction to the history and institutions of the EU, with special emphasis on the jurisdiction and process of the ECJ. It contains a clear and concise analysis of the basics of EC law on direct taxation, including the Council Directives and ECJ jurisprudence on the so-called four freedoms of the EC Treaty-the freedom of movement of workers, the freedom of establishment, the freedom to provide services, and the freedom of capital movement. The second part of the book includes summaries of the major direct tax cases decided by the ECJ in straightforward prose designed to make the complex and long tax decisions of the ECJ palatable for the uninitiated.
