Game Developers: What is the best C programming book out there for a student seeking an internship?

I'm pursuing a career in game development and everybody wants C knowledge, whether it be C# or C++. My institution does not offer classes in C, so I have to teach myself. I'm looking for a book that will help me understand the theory of all types of C programming. Additionally, it would be great if it related C programming to game development and offered some exercises.

What have you found, being in the industry, is the best book for the skills to at least get my foot in the door? Thanks.
