  We provide a new proof of the inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^{s+1}$-norm
over groups $H=\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z$ for $N$ prime. This proof gives reasonable
quantitative bounds (the worst parameters are double-exponential), and in
particular does not make use of regularity or non-standard analysis, both of
which are new for $s \ge 3$ in this setting.
