if you like 50s movies this one is, I dare say old chap, a classic, but otherwise I wouldn't necessarily recommend it over the 2008 remake.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
