there's a really good one from a coupla years ago, Spies Like US. deals with the history of such controversial research in sociology of the past half c. had my studs read it when i taught social science methods courses. heh. messed with their heads since it's hard for an undergrad to get a grip on the internal critiques and debates that take place in a discipline. you're job is to get them to be keen on the discipline. yet, i hate that indoctrination and always problematize it. bums them out, often enough.
