My favourite ds/algo book is "Algorithmic Thinking : A Problem-Based Introduction" [0] it was published in 2020 and it touches on competitive programming techniques in pure modern C (all the pure c ds/algo books that i know are outdated). A second edition is coming soon with 2 extra chapters [1].

If you're a starter, I would heavily suggest A Common-Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms by Jay Wengrow instead. It's written in a fantastic, easy to understand style and actually goes over everything as it explains it, both code examples and visualizations.

Cool! Peter Sanders is the same person who invented the awesome DC3 linear time suffix array construction algorithm (aka Kärkkäinen-Sanders).
