| Sep 20, 2018 at 0:31 | comment | added | dorebell | Since this question popped up again, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the excellent "History of Class Field Theory" notes by Keith Conrad. It's fairly short and very clearly discusses the various approaches and formulations of class field theory and their relationships, and provides good pointers to original sources. | |

The tag (class-field-theory) seems to be suitable here. (The question has been bumped anyway - by a new answer which is now deleted.)

| Aug 19, 2010 at 3:23 | comment | added | KConrad | For local class field theory, look at Iwasawa's beautiful book "Local Class Field Theory". It is out of print, so find it in a library. You should have a vague understanding of the use of complex multiplication to generate abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields first, in order to have the motivation for what is in Iwasawa's book. | |

The book by Cassels and Frohlich is excellent, but some of the material is rather concisely presented for someone who is learning the material for the first time. (Most other books take more pages to cover less ground.) To students learning CFT for the first time, I recommend Prof. Milne's lecture notes on the subject, available at jmilne.org. | |
