> one of the best texts on Galois Theory I have read

What book on group theory or abstract algebra would you recommend to read first to be able to read that text on Galois Theory?



If I'm being honest I really don't have a good recommendation for a text in intro abstract algebra. I learned it from Michael Artin's Algebra. Artin is a true master -- along with David Mumford, he was the main apostle for Grothendieck style AG in the US -- but his book was not very easy to learn from.
