Character Theory of Finite Groups

by I. Martin Isaacs

Excellent text approaches characters via rings (or algebras). In addition to techniques for applying characters to "pure" group theory, much of the book focuses on properties of the characters themselves and how these properties reflect and are reflected in the structure of the group. "A pleasure to read." — American Mathematical Society. 1976 edition.

It's all there I guess, packed very densely into this slim volume. Some character-theoretic proofs in Gorenstein helped me find a through line.
