... Clifford Jones's net achievement is double: he places private enforcement of EC competition law in the more general context of effectiveness of Community law, and at the same time he succeeds in clearing many European misconceptions on the US system of private antitrust enforcement. ... this is an excellent and prescient book that should appeal not just to competition but also to general Community lawyers.
