Extract

Automorphism towers were first considered in (19) with the case of finite groups. Recently polycyclic and extremal groups were considered in (7) and (12) respectively. The purpose of this paper is to consider automorphism towers of groups in a class of almost soluble groups which contains all polycyclic and all extremal groups.
