Any good Shia books?

[WisdomAndAnswers]

Salam Alaikum everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew any good English books that prove that Shia is the true path. For example, I want books that explain what Omar did and how he went against the Imams (عليه السلام). I want any books that I can buy online that can educate me and make me really knowledgable about Shia Islam. I also want books online that teach me about the history of Shia and how it’s the way of life and the truth. 

If anyone can just list me amazing titles that are available online so that I can be more aware of what I am following and so that I can be able to defend and debate about my love for Shia. I want to be able to prove the Sunni way is wrong to whoever insults Shias and our belief. 

I appreciate any help given.

If you want a book that proves Shia Islam is correct according to Sunnism, then "Peshawar Nights" is the perfect book.

Some books have already been recommended. My humble suggestion would be to read for the sake of gaining knowledge and closeness to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and not for the purpose of debates/polemics.

That’s true, silence is better than debating and trying to prove your point. A lot of times it’s about actions and not words, by showing kindness and understanding. 

I also want to read them to feel confident in what I am following and to feel a stronger connection with Allah.
