What is the book you recommend to everyone?

The book I recommend to other lawyers is East West Street by Philippe Sands. Books feature regularly in conversation at MTG and we have an online book club called 'MTG Recommends' where colleagues and contacts from across the industry put forward their top six reads; do take a look if you're in need of inspiration.
