Concise clear explanations of PFIC, self-employment and tax treaties

We moved to Spain last year and I was looking for a summary of international dual taxation issues rather than surfing numerous conflicting websites. Olivier’s book does a good job of pointing out the basics and providing a starting point for more research taking into account your country and personal situation. I think what I learned from the book will help me ask more informed questions to our Spain and US tax preparers.
