Let $N$ be an Abelian normal subgroup of $G$, if $G/N$ is perfect, then also $G'$ is perfect.

I'm reading Kurzweil & Stellmacher's "The Theory of Finite Groups", its 1.5.3 says:




Let $N$ be an Abelian normal subgroup of $G$. If $G/N$ is perfect,
then also $G'$ is perfect.



Proof. From 1.5.1, applied to the natural epimorphism, we obtain
$$G/N = (G/N)' = G'N/N$$



and thus $G = G'N$. Since also $G'/N cap G'$ ($cong G/N$) is perfect, the same
argument gives $G' = G''(N cap G')$. It follows that $G = G''N$ and $G/G'' cong
N/N cap G''$
. Now 1.5.2 implies $G' = G''$ since $N$ is Abelian. $square$




I'm a bit lost here: why $G'/N cap G'$ is perfect and $G'/N cap G' cong G/N$?

It's the second isomorphism theorem applied here:
$$G'/(Ncap G') cong G'N/N$$
and we already know $G'N/N=G/N$ which is perfect by hypothesis.



Consequently, by the same reasons as in the first part of the proof, we get $G'=G''N$, and thus $G=G'N=G''NN=G''N$.
