'More than half a century since network flow theory was introduced by the 1962 book of L. R. Ford and D. R. Fulkerson, the area is still active and attractive. This book, based on course materials taught at Stanford and Cornell Universities, offers a concise and succinct description of most of the important topics, as well as covering recent developments. Its use in graduate courses related to algorithms and optimization is highly recommended.' Toshihide Ibaraki, Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics, Japan

'A succinct and very readable account of network flow algorithms covering the classics and the latest developments. The perfect book for a course on network flow algorithms and a reference for the state of the art. It will be a frequently used addition to my bookshelf.' Kurt Mehlhorn, Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik

'The book includes many lemmas and theorems with proofs. It provides a succinct, amalgamated view of a broad mixture of effective combinatorial algorithms for network flow problems, including many topics not found in other textbooks … I strongly recommend the book for students and researchers.'
