There are 4 books I think all Theosophical students should read.

One may not agee with all that is written in these 4 books but
one needs to be knowledgeable about the subject matter in
these books.

The four books are:

Madame Blavatsky: The Woman Behind the Myth

The Masters Revealed: Madame Blavatsky and the 
Myth of the Great White Lodge

The Elder Brother: A Biography Of Charles Webster Leadbeater

The Making of a Spiritual Movement : The Untold Story of 
Paul Twitchell and Eckankar
by David Christopher Lane
Out of print but on the web at:

Also in light of HPB's quote below, one should also
try to understand "the other side":

"...Contrast alone can enable us to appreciate things at
their right value; and unless a judge compares notes and
hears both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."
H.P. Blavatsky. The Theosophist, July, 1881, p. 2
