The theory of 3-transposition groups has become an important part of finite simple group theory. This book contains the first complete published proof of Fischer's Theorem on the classification of these groups. Part I is accessible to graduate students in finite groups while Parts II and III are aimed at specialists.

Sporadic Groups provides for the first time a self-contained treatment of the foundations of the theory of sporadic groups accessible to mathematicians with a basic background in finite groups such as in the author's text Finite Group Theory.
