> "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"

There's a good book on this called "Damned Lies and Statistics" that I recommend to people.[1,2]

There's also a much earlier "How to Lie with Statistics" (published in 1954). I read it in high school (45 years ago)

HTLwS was written as tobacco-lobby propaganda.

I read it like 2 years ago and was very impressed how relevant it was. 10/10 required reading.
