'The author's second edition of his primer on American Business Bankruptcy provides a concise and accessible description of the key chapters of the US Bankruptcy Code. This book would be quite useful to students of insolvency law and indeed anyone who wishes to develop a working knowledge of the key aspects of the American insolvency framework. It is direct and clear, while also providing enough depth and discussion that it would also be useful from a comparative perspective. It is a very practical synthesis which, in the second edition, integrates the recent Small Business Reorganisation Act.' -- Jennifer L.L. Gant, eurofenix

American Business Bankruptcy explores specialized proceedings like brokerage liquidations, pre-packaged chapter 11 cases, and 363 sales. Professor Lubben also reviews the transnational aspects of modern American bankruptcy practice, and explains chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code, which allows for foreign insolvency proceedings to be 'recognized' in U.S. courts.
U.S law students and junior attorneys, international insolvency professionals, and non-legal professionals, including bankers and accountants, will appreciate this practical synthesis, which includes citations and guidance for further research.
