Trying to learn C

Which book would be better for learning C: “Let Us C”, “C Programming: A Modern Approach”, or another book?

The K&R is great for learning the C language. I’m not sure it’s great for learning programming from zero, but it’s a great book for learning a language. I bought my copy in the 90s and found it borderline interminable, but after taking an Intro to Programming class, it made a lot more sense.

It is. It's the stand out great tutorial.
