Trade Review‘. . . this book will, no doubt, become a valued acquisition in the libraries of competition lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic.’ -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine
‘. . . My overall impression of this book is that it is an excellent, well-researched overview of some of the most pertinent issues with antitrust criminalisation and of the operation of the criminal antitrust regimes in Ireland, the UK and the US. It provides fascinating insights into the practical workings of these regimes and, for the UK regime in particular, presents a detailed critical analysis of its failings to date. The thesis pursued by this monograph in its consideration of four different research questions is interesting, current, sophisticated and relevant. This monograph is essential reading for all those interested in antitrust criminalisation.’ -- Peter Whelan, European Competition Journal
‘Mark Furse’s specialist subject is competition law and this monologue is a refreshing tour of the subject matter.’ -- The Criminal Lawyer
