This (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672322234/qid=1086095539/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-5664553-5883808?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) is a good one, but also have a look on the net for free tutorials. Bruce Eckel's released a series of his programming books for free in electronic format, including the very good "Thinking In C++":

I would definitely try that free book recommended above. If that doesn't work out for you (I tried it first and it didn't float my boat), a very good book to learn from is C++ How to Program, by Deitel & Deitel.
