โฆ Synopsis
Finite group theory is a topic remarkable for the simplicity of its statements and the difficulty of their proofs. It is used in an essential way in several branches of mathematics -- for instance, in number theory.
This book is a short introduction to the subject, written both for beginners and for mathematicians at large. There are ten chapters: Preliminaries, Sylow theory, Solvable groups and nilpotent groups, Group extensions, Hall subgroups, Frobenius groups, Transfer, Characters, Finite subgroups of GLn, and Small groups.
Each chapter is followed by a series of exercises.
First hardcover edition.

I don't think I could come up with enough superlatives to describe just how good this text really is. Both authors have done an excellent job describing as well as motivating the subject and have subsequently turned me into an avid fan of the theory of finite groups. What I find disappointing is m
