This should be required reading for everyone. It's a quick read, and the material is a bit dated, but the book clearly demonstrates some of the chicanery statistics can enable.

A great introduction to the proper use of statistics. Short, simple, and interesting, and most importantly everyone should know how statistics can be misused to support an argument.
