Lawyers
Exposes the underbelly of much legal education taught in law schools. I wish I had read this before Con Law 1 & 2 before accepting the interpretation of the law professors as the word.

This entire line of books is incredibly good, chocked full of information you usually don't find in history books or classes, giving new light to "accepted" history.
