Rothbard's "Anatomy of the State"


Anatomy of the State by Murray N. Rothbard is a booklet/essay that traces the origins of the state and takes a hard look at what it is.  This is an important work that can be read in a short sitting.  You can download a free copy here.  You can buy a paperback copy from the Mises Institute here for five dollars.
